| Chapter 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. --
|
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, Kittim, and Dodanim. --
|
5 |
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. --
|
6 |
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. --
|
7 |
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons of Raamah, Sheba, and Dedan. --
|
8 |
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. --
|
9 |
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. --
|
10 |
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. --
|
11 |
Out of that land went forth Ashur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, --
|
12 |
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. --
|
13 |
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim. --
|
14 |
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. --
|
15 |
And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth, --
|
16 |
And the Jebusite, and the Emorite, and the Girgasite, --
|
17 |
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, --
|
18 |
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites dispersed. --
|
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. --
|
20 |
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. --
|
21 |
To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. --
|
22 |
The children of Shem; Elam, and Ashur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. --
|
23 |
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. --
|
24 |
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. --
|
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. --
|
26 |
And Joktan begat 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 dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest to Sephar, a mount of the east. --
|
31 |
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. --
|
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. --
