Genesis 10

10:1 And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge. 10:2 `Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 10:3 And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 10:4 And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 10:5 By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.  10:6 And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 10:7 And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan. 10:8 And Cush hath begotten Nimrod; 10:9 he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.' 10:10 And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar; 10:11 from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah, 10:12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city. 10:13 And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, 10:14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim.  10:15 And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, and Heth, 10:16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 10:17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 10:18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered. 10:19 And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha. 10:20 These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.  10:21 As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten: 10:22 Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 10:23 And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 10:24 And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber. 10:25 And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother's name [is] Joktan. 10:26 And Joktan hath begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 10:27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 10:28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 10:29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these [are] sons of Joktan; 10:30 and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east. 10:31 These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations. 10:32 These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.
