| Chapter 10 |
1 | Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters
|
2 | The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.
|
3 | And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.
|
4 | And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.
|
5 | From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages.
|
6 | And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
|
7 | And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
|
8 | And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.
|
9 | He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.
|
10 | And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
|
11 | From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,
|
12 | And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.
|
13 | And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim;
|
14 | And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines.
|
15 | And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth,
|
16 | And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite,
|
17 | And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,
|
18 | And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;
|
19 | Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.
|
20 | All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.
|
21 | And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition.
|
22 | These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
|
23 | And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
|
24 | And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.
|
25 | And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.
|
26 | And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah
|
27 | And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah
|
28 | And Obal and Abimael and Sheba
|
29 | And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
|
30 | And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.
|
31 | These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem.
|
32 | These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.
