Genesis 10

¹ These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to whom sons were born after the flood.

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

³ The descendants of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴ The descendants of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, and the Rodanim.

⁵ These are the descendants of Japheth, and from them sprang the maritime nations, in their respective lands--each with its own language--by their clans within their nations.

⁶ The descendants of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷ The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first potentate on earth.

⁹ He was a mighty hunter by the grace of the LORD; hence the saying, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter by the grace of the LORD."

¹⁰ The chief cities of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ From that land he went forth to Asshur, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

¹² as well as Resen, between Nineveh and Calah, the latter being the principal city.

¹³ Mizraim became the father of the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ the Pathrusim, the Casluhim, and the Caphtorim from whom the Philistines sprang.

¹⁵ Canaan became the father of Sidon, his first-born, and of Heth;

¹⁶ also of the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

¹⁷ the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

¹⁸ the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward, the clans of the Canaanites spread out,

¹⁹ so that the Canaanite borders extended from Sidon all the way to Gerar, near Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, near Lasha.

²⁰ These are the descendants of Ham, according to their clans and languages, by their lands and nations.

²¹ To Shem also, Japheth's oldest brother and the ancestor of all the children of Eber, sons were born.

²² The descendants of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

²³ The descendants of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

²⁴ Arpachshad became the father of Shelah, and Shelah became the father of Eber.

²⁵ To Eber two sons were born: the name of the first was Peleg, for in his time the world was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan.

²⁶ Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸ Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

²⁹ Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were descendants of Joktan.

³⁰ Their settlements extended all the way to Sephar, the eastern hill country.

³¹ These are the descendants of Shem, according to their clans and languages by their lands and nations.

³² These are the groupings of Noah's sons, according to their origins and by their nations. From these the other nations of the earth branched out after the flood.
