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 ¶
These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.
10:2
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
10:3
And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.
10:4
And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.
10:5
By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.
10:6 ¶
And the Sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.
10:7
And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba, and Dadan.
10:8
Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
10:9
And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
10:10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
10:11
Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
10:12
Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
10:13
And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim and Laabim, Nephthuim.
10:14
And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.
10:15 ¶
And Chanaan begot Sidon his firstborn, the Hethite,
10:16
And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite.
10:17
The Hevite and Aracite: the Sinite,
10:18
And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
10:19
And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.
10:20
These are the children of Cham in their kindreds and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
10:21 ¶
Of Sem also the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
10:22
The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
10:23
The sons of Aram: Us, and Hull, and Gether; and Mes.
10:24
But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
10:25
And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days was the earth divided: and his brother's name Jectan.
10:26
Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,
10:27
And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,
10:28
And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,
10:29
And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.
10:30
And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.
10:31
These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
10:32
These are the families of Noe, according to their people and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
