“1 Now these [are] the
generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them
were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog,
and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons
of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan;
Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 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 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And
the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and
Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat
Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty
hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty
hunter before the LORD. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel,
and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that
land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and
Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great
city. 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and
Caphtorim.”
“15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, 16 And the
Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 17 And the Hivite, and the
Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the
Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread
abroad. 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 sons of Ham,
after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, [and] in
their nations.”
“21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the
brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born. 22 The
children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And
Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born
two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days was the earth
divided; and his brother’s name [was] Joktan. 26 And Joktan begat
Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 27 And Hadoram, and
Uzal, and Diklah, 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29 And Ophir, and
Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the sons of Joktan. 30 And their
dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their
tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 32 These [are] the
families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations:
and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.” (Ge
10:1-32 AV)
