Genesis 10

Now these {are} the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and sons were born to them after the flood. \*

The sons of Japheth {were} Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

And the sons of Gomer {were} Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

And the sons of Javan {were} Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.

From those the coastland peoples spread out into their lands, each with its own language, according to their clans, in their nations. \*

And the sons of Ham {were} Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

And the sons of Cush {were} Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah {were} Sheba and Dedan. \*

Cush also fathered Nimrod, who began to be mighty on the earth.

He was a mighty hunter before God. For that reason it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before God.”

And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Akkad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. \*

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

and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah, which {is} the great city.

And Mizraim fathered the Ludim and the Anamim and the Lehabim and the Naphtuhim

and the Pathrusim and the Casluhim (whom the Philistim came from) and the Caphtorim. \*

And Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, then Heth

and the Jebusites and the Amorites and the Girgashites

and the Hivites and the Arkites and the Sinites

and the Arvadites and the Zemarites and the Hamathites. And afterward the clans of the Canaanites scattered, \*

so the border{s} of the Canaanites were from Sidon, {then} you go toward Gerar as far as Gaza, {then} you go to Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

Those {are} the sons of Ham according to their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations. \*

And sons were also born to Shem; he {was} the father of all the sons of Eber and the brother of Japheth the elder.

The sons of Shem {were} Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

And the sons of Aram {were} Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. \*

And Arpachshad fathered Shelah, then Shelah fathered Eber.

Then two sons were born to Eber. The name of the one {was} Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided. And the name of his brother {was} Joktan. \*

And Joktan fathered Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

and Obal and Abimael and Sheba

and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab. All those {were} the sons of Joktan. \*

And their dwelling was from Mesha, {then} you go to Sephar, the mountain{s} of the east.

Those {are} the sons of Shem according to their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations. \*

Those {are} the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations. And from those the nations spread out on the earth after the flood. \*
