Genesis 10

¹These are the generations 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: Ashʹkenaz, Riphath, and Togarʹmah. ⁴The sons of Javan: Eliʹshah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Doʹdanim. ⁵From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations.

⁶The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. ⁷The sons of Cush: Seba, Havʹilah, Sabtah, Raʹamah, and Sabʹteca. The sons of Raʹamah: Sheba and Dedan. ⁸Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. ⁹He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” ¹⁰The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. ¹¹From that land he went into Assyria, and built Ninʹeveh, Rehoʹboth-Ir, Calah, and ¹²Resen between Ninʹeveh and Calah; that is the great city. ¹³Egypt became the father of Ludim, Anʹamim, Lehaʹbim, Naph-tuʹhim, ¹⁴Pathruʹsim, Casluʹhim (whence came the Philistines), and Caphʹtorim.

¹⁵Canaan became the father of Sidon his first-born, and Heth, ¹⁶and the Jebʹusites, the Amorites, the Girʹgashites, ¹⁷the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, ¹⁸the Arʹvadites, the Zemʹarites, and the Haʹmathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. ¹⁹And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorʹrah, Admah, and Zeboiʹim, 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 elder brother of Japheth, children were born. ²²The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachʹshad, Lud, and Aram. ²³The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. ²⁴Arpachʹshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of 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 became the father of Almoʹdad, Sheleph, Hazarmaʹveth, Jerah, ²⁷Hadorʹam, Uzal, Diklah, ²⁸Obal, Abimʹa-el, Sheba, ²⁹Ophir, Havʹilah, 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, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
