10:1 Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah; Shem,
Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood.
10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and
Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and
Dodanim.
10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their
lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in
their nations.
10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and
Canaan.
10:7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and
Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons of Raamah, Sheba, and Dedan.
10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the
earth.
10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is
said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and
Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
10:11 Out of that land went forth Ashur, and built Nineveh, and
the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
10:12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great
city.
10:13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and
Naphtuhim.
10:14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,)
and Caphtorim.
10:15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth,
10:16 And the Jebusite, and the Emorite, and the Girgasite,
10:17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
10:18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and
afterward were the families of the Canaanites dispersed.
10:19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou
comest to Gerar, to Gaza; as thou goest to Sodom and Gomorrah,
and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lashah.
10:20 These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after
their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.
10:21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the
brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born.
10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Ashur, and Arphaxad, and
Lud, and Aram.
10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and
Mash.
10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
10:25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was]
Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's
name [was] Joktan.
10:26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth,
and Jerah,
10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah.
10:28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
10:29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the
sons of Joktan.
10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest to
Sephar, a mount of the east.
10:31 These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after
their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
10:32 These [are] the families of the sons of Noah after their
generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations
divided in the earth after the flood.
