Genesis 10

1These are the generations of Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth; sons were born to them after the flood.

2Japheth's sons: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3Gomer's sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5From these the islands of the nations dispersed in their lands, each according to his language, according to their families, in their nations.

6Ham's sons: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtecha, and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

8Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on earth.

9He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

10His kingdom began with Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.

11From that land Asshur went out and built Nineveh, Rehoboth City, and Calah.

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

13Mizraim fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, and Naphtuhim.

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

15Canaan fathered Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth.

16and the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite

17the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite

18the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites dispersed.

19And the border of the Canaanites extended from Sidon toward Gerar to Gaza; toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim to Lasha.

20These were the sons of Ham by their families, by their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21Children were also born to Shem, father of all Eber's sons, older brother of Japheth.

22Shem's sons: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

23Aram's sons were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24Arphaxad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.

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

26And Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, and Jerah.

27Hadoram, Uzal, and Diklah

28Obal, Abimael, and Sheba

29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab—all these were sons of Joktan.

30Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you come toward Sephar, mountain of the east.

31These were Shem's sons by their families, by their languages, in their lands, by their nations.

32These are the families of Noah's sons by their generations in their nations, and from these the nations dispersed in the earth after the flood.
