CHAPTER 10

This

is the account

of Noah’s

sons

Shem,

Ham,

and Japheth,

who also

had sons

after

the flood.

The sons

of Japheth:

Gomer,

Magog,

Madai,

Javan,

Tubal,

Meshech,

and Tiras.

The sons

of Gomer:

Ashkenaz,

Riphath,

and Togarmah.

And the sons

of Javan:

Elishah,

Tarshish,

Kittim,

and Dodanim.

From these,

the maritime

peoples

separated

into their territories,

according to their languages,

by clans

within their nations.

The sons

of Ham:

Cush,

Mizraim,

Put,

and Canaan.

The sons

of Cush:

Seba,

Havilah,

Sabtah,

Raamah,

and Sabteca.

And the sons

of Raamah:

Sheba

and Dedan.

And Cush

was the father of

Nimrod,

who

grew

to be

a mighty warrior

on the earth.

He

was

a mighty

hunter

before

the LORD;

so

it is said,

“Like Nimrod,

a mighty

hunter

before

the LORD.”

His kingdom

began

in Babylon,

Erech,

Accad,

and Calneh,

in the land

of Shinar.

From

that

land

he went forth

into Assyria,

where he built

Nineveh,

Rehoboth-Ir,

Calah,

and Resen,

which is between

Nineveh

and the great

city

of Calah.

And Mizraim

was the father of

the Ludites,

the Anamites,

the Lehabites,

the Naphtuhites,

the Pathrusites,

the Casluhites,

and

the Caphtorites

(from

whom

the Philistines

came).

Canaan

was the father of

Sidon

his firstborn,

and of

the Hittites,

the Jebusites,

the Amorites,

the Girgashites,

the Hivites,

the Arkites,

the Sinites,

the Arvadites,

the Zemarites,

and the Hamathites.

Later

the Canaanite

clans

were scattered

and the borders

of Canaan

extended from

Sidon

toward Gerar

as

far as Gaza,

and then

toward Sodom,

Gomorrah,

Admah,

and Zeboiim,

as

far as Lasha.

These are

the sons

of Ham

according to their clans,

languages,

lands,

and nations.

And sons were also born

to Shem,

the older

brother

of Japheth;

Shem

was the forefather

of all

the sons

of Eber.

The sons

of Shem:

Elam,

Asshur,

Arphaxad,

Lud,

and Aram.

The sons

of Aram:

Uz,

Hul,

Gether,

and Mash.

And Arphaxad

was the father of

Shelah,

and Shelah

was the father of

Eber.

And two

sons

were born

to Eber:

One

was named

Peleg,

because

in his days

the earth

was divided,

and his brother

was named

Joktan.

And Joktan

was the father of

Almodad,

Sheleph,

Hazarmaveth,

Jerah,

Hadoram,

Uzal,

Diklah,

Obal,

Abimael,

Sheba,

Ophir,

Havilah,

and Jobab.

All

these

were sons

of Joktan.

Their territory

extended from

Mesha

to Sephar,

in the eastern

hill country.

These

are the sons

of Shem,

according to their clans,

languages,

lands,

and nations.

All these

are the clans

of Noah’s

sons,

according to their generations

and nations.

From these

the nations

of the earth

spread out

after

the flood.
