10:1 This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.
10:2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.
10:3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.
10:4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim and the Rodanim.
10:5 (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)
10:6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan.
10:7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
10:8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth.
10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
10:10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh, in Shinar.
10:11 From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah
10:12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
10:13 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites,
10:14 Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came) and Caphtorites.

10:16 Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,
10:17 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,
10:18 Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans scattered
10:19 and 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.
10:20 These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
10:21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.
10:22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
10:23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshech.
10:24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber.
10:25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.
10:26 Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
10:27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
10:28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
10:29 Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
10:30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
10:31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
10:32 These 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.
10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

10:4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Rodanim.
10:5 From these the islands and coastal regions of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his tongue, according to their families, in their nations.
10:6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
10:7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
10:8 And Cush begot Nimrod: He began to be a mighty one on the earth.
10:9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Jehovah.
10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Akkad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
10:11 From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-ir and Calah
10:12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, that is, the great city.
10:13 And Mizraim begot the Ludim and the Anamim and the Lehabim and the Naphtuhim
10:14 And the Pathrusim and the Casluhim, from which came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.
10:15 And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn and Heth
10:16 And the Jebusites and the Amorites and the Girgashites
10:17 And the Hivites and the Arkites and the Sinites
10:18 And the Arvadites and the Zemarites and the Hamathites, and afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread out.
10:19 And the territory of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza, and as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
10:20 These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
10:21 And also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the eldest brother of Japheth, children were born.
10:22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
10:23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
10:24 And Arpachshad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.
10:25 And to Eber were born two sons: The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother s name was Joktan.
10:26 And Joktan begot 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 were the sons of Joktan.
10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
10:31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations.
10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
