Genesis 10
[1] Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. [2] The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. [3] The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. [4] The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. [5] Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations. [6] The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. [7] The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan. [8] Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. [9] He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”. [10] The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. [11] Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, [12] and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah. [13] Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, [14] Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim. [15] Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, [16] the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, [17] the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, [18] the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. [19] The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha. [20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations. [21] Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber. [22] The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. [23] The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. [24] Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. [25] To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan. [26] Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, [27] Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, [28] Obal, Abimael, Sheba, [29] Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. [30] Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. [31] These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations. [32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.
