CHAPTER 10

The Generations of Noah

1And these are the generations of the sons of Noah -- Shem, Ham, Japheth. And were born to them sons after the flood. 2The sons of Japheth -- Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3And the sons of Gomer -- Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4And the sons of Javan -- Elisha, and Tarshish, Kittim, Dodanim. 5From out of these were separated islands of the nations in   their land, each according to tongue, among   their tribes, and among   their nations. 6And the sons of Ham -- Cush, and Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan. 7And the sons of Cush -- Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah. And the sons of Raamah - Sheba and Dedan. 8And Cush procreated   Nimrod. This one  began to be a giant upon the earth. 9This one was a giant hunter with hounds before the lord    God. On account of this they shall say, As Nimrod a giant hunter with hounds before the lord. 10And came to pass the beginning   of his kingdom -- Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11From out of   that land came forth Assyria. And he built   Nineveh, also in the midst of Calah -- 12this is the [²city ¹great]. 13And Mizraim procreated the Ludim, and the Naphtuhim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, 14and the Pathrusim and the Casluhim, from where came forth the Philistines, and the Caphtorim. 15And Canaan procreated   Sidon the first-born, 16and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, and the Hivite, and the Arkite, 17and the Sinite, 18the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite, and after these were scattered the tribes of the Canaanites. 19And [⁵were ¹the ²boundaries ³of the ⁴Canaanites] from Sidon unto the coming into Gerar and Gaza, unto the coming unto Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, unto Lasha. 20These are  the sons of Ham among   their tribes, according to their languages, among   their regions, and among   their nations. 21And   to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the greater. 22Sons of Shem -- Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Cainan. 23And the sons of Aram -- Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24And Arphaxad procreated   Cainan; and Cainan procreated   Salah; and Salah procreated   Eber. 25And   to Eber were born two sons, the name given to the one was Peleg; for in   his days [³was divided into parts ¹the ²earth]; and the name   of his brother was Joktan. 26And Joktan procreated   Almodad, and Sheleph, and   Hazarmaveth, and Jerah 27and   Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 28and Obal and   Abimael   Sheba, 29and Ophir, and   Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan. 30And [²was   ¹their dwelling] from Mesha unto the coming into Sephar, a mountain of the east. 31These are  the sons of Shem among   their tribes, according to their languages, among   their regions, and among   their nations. 32These are  the tribes of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, according to their nations. From these were scattered islands of the nations upon the earth after the flood.
