Genesis 10 / 50
- 1This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood. The Japhethites
- 2The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.
- 3The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.
- 4The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim and the Rodanim.
- 5(From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.) The Hamites
- 6The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan.
- 7The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
- 8Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth.
- 9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD ; that is why it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD ."
- 10The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh, in Shinar.
- 11From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah
- 12and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
- 13Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites,
- 14Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came) and Caphtorites.
- 15Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,
- 16Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,
- 17Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,
- 18Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans scattered
- 19and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
- 20These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations. The Semites
- 21Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.
- 22The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
- 23The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshech.
- 24Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber.
- 25Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.
- 26Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
- 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
- 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
- 29Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
- 30The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
- 31These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
- 32These are the clans of Noah's sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.
