Genesis 10

¹These are the toledot of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

²The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

³The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵From these the coastland peoples spread, each in their lands, each with their language, by their families, in their nations.

⁶The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.

⁷The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸Cush fathered Nimrod. He was the first to be a mighty man on the earth.

⁹He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said: Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.

¹⁰And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,

¹²and Resen between Nineveh and Calah — that is the great city.

¹³Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

¹⁴Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth,

¹⁶and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

¹⁷the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

¹⁸the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites spread abroad.

¹⁹The territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

²⁰These are the sons of Ham, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

²¹To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, children were born.

²²The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

²³The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

²⁴Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.

²⁵To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.

²⁶Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

²⁹Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.

³¹These are the sons of Shem, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

³²These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their toledot, in their nations, and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
