Chapter 10

  And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge.  

--

  'Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.  

--

  And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.  

--

  And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.  

--

  By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.  

--

  And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.  

--

  And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan.  

--

  And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;  

--

  he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, 'As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.'  

--

  And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;  

--

  from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,  

--

  and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city.  

--

  And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,  

--

  and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim.  

--

  And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, and Heth,  

--

  and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,  

--

  and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,  

--

  and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered.  

--

  And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha.  

--

  These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.  

--

  As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten:  

--

  Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.  

--

  And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.  

--

  And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber.  

--

  And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother's name [is] Joktan.  

--

  And Joktan hath begotten 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 these [are] sons of Joktan;  

--

  and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.  

--

  These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.  

--

  These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.
