Genesis 10
Descendants of Noah
1 Now these are the records of the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood. 2 aThe sons of Japheth were bGomer, Magog, cMadai, dJavan, Tubal, eMeshech, and Tiras. 3The sons of Gomer were fAshkenaz, ▼▼In 1 Chr 1:6, Diphath
Riphath, and hTogarmah. 4The sons of Javan were Elishah, iTarshish, Kittim, and ▼▼In 1 Chr 1:7, Rodanim
Dodanim. 5From these the people of the coastlands of the nations ▼▼Or separated themselves
were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. 6 lThe sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7The sons of Cush were mSeba, Havilah, Sabtah, nRaamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were oSheba and pDedan. 8Now Cush fathered Nimrod; he ▼▼Lit began to be
became a mighty one on the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10And the beginning of his kingdom was ▼▼Or Babylon
,
sBabel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of tShinar. 11From that land he went uto Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, 12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13Mizraim fathered vLudim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 wPathrusim, Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines), and Caphtorim. 15 Canaan fathered xSidon, his firstborn, and yHeth, 16 zthe Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite, 17the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite, 18the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. 19 aaThe territory of the Canaanite ▼▼Lit was
extended from Sidon ▼▼Lit as you go
going toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; and ▼▼Lit as you go
going toward aeSodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations. 21 Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born. 22 afThe sons of Shem were agElam, Asshur, ahArpachshad, aiLud, and Aram. 23The sons of Aram were ajUz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24Arpachshad fathered akShelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 25 alTwo sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was ▼▼I.e., division
Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 ▼▼In 1 Chr 1:22, Ebal
Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all of these were the sons of Joktan. 30Now their ▼▼Lit dwelling
settlement ▼▼Lit was
extended from Mesha ▼▼Lit as you go
going toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. 31These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and according to their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and arout of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
