Genesis 10

1 The generations of Noah. 2 The sons of Japheth. 6 The sons of Ham. 8 Nimrod the first monarch. 21 The sons of Shem.

 10:1 ¶ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, [namely], of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

 10:2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

 10:3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

 10:4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

 10:5 Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after 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 Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.

 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah.

 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

 10:11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,

 10:12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

 10:13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

 10:14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim.

 10:15 ¶ And Canaan begat 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 afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.

 10:19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha.

 10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

 10:21 ¶ And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children 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 begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber.

 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: The name of the one was Peleg. For in his days was the earth divided. And his brother's name was Joktan.

 10:26 And Joktan begat 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 thou goest toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

 10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
