Genesis 10

The Japhethites

1 This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts Rodanim} 5 From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

The Hamites

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8 And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be ^{▼▼Or who established himself as} a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before ^{▼▼Or in defiance of; twice in this verse} the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.” 10 His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah. 13 And Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites, 14 the Pathrusites, the Casluhites, and the Caphtorites ( from whom the Philistines came ). ^{▼▼Hebrew the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites. Compare Jeremiah 47:4 and Amos 9:7} 15 Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, ^{▼▼Or of the Sidonians, the foremost} and of the Hittites, 16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered 19 and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 These [are] the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

The Semites

21 And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother [of] Japheth; ^{▼▼Or Shem, whose older brother was Japheth} [Shem] was the forefather of all the sons of Eber. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. ^{▼▼Hebrew; LXX and 1 Chronicles 1:17 Meshech} 24 And Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of ^{▼▼Hebrew; LXX father of Cainan, and Cainan was the father of} . . . Eber. 25 And two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, ^{▼▼Peleg means division} because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan. 26 And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these [were] sons of Joktan. 30 Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country. 31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations. 32 All these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.
