Chapter 10

  And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood.  

--

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

--

  And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.  

--

  And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.  

--

  From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.  

--

  And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.  

--

  And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.  

--

  And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.  

--

  He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!  

--

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

--

  From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,  

--

  and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.  

--

  -- And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,  

--

  and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.  

--

  -- And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,  

--

  and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,  

--

  and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,  

--

  and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.  

--

  And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.  

--

  These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.  

--

  And to Shem -- to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.  

--

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

--

  And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.  

--

  -- And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.  

--

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

--

  And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,  

--

  and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,  

--

  and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,  

--

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

--

  And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.  

--

  These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.  

--

  These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.
