8 Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on earth.	8 Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.
9 And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.	9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.	10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.	11 From that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and
12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.	12 Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
13 And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,	13 Egypt became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naph-tuhim,
14 And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.	14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (whence came the Philistines), and Caphtorim.

18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.	18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
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.	19 And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.	20 These are the sons of Ham, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
21 Of Sem also, the father of all children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.	21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.
