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.5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 The descendants of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first potentate on earth.8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the 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."9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 The chief cities of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went forth to Asshur, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 as well as Resen, between Nineveh and Calah, the latter being the principal city.12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
13 Mizraim became the father of the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim,13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 the Pathrusim, the Casluhim, and the Caphtorim from whom the Philistines sprang.14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 Canaan became the father of Sidon, his first-born, and of Heth;15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward, the clans of the Canaanites spread out,18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
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.19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
20 These are the descendants of Ham, according to their clans and languages, by their lands and nations.20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21 To Shem also, Japheth's oldest brother and the ancestor of all the children of Eber, sons were born.21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
