Genesis 10 (WEBP)
[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.

[1] Now these [are] the generations H8435 of the sons H1121 of Noah H5146, Shem H8035, Ham H2526, and Japheth H3315: and unto them were sons H1121 born H3205 (8735) after H310 the flood H3999.

[8] And Cush H3568 begat H3205 (8804) Nimrod H5248: he began H2490 (8689) to be H1961 (8800) a mighty one H1368 in the earth H776.
[9] He was a mighty H1368 hunter H6718 before H6440 the LORD H3068: wherefore H3651 it is said H559 (8735), Even as Nimrod H5248 the mighty H1368 hunter H6718 before H6440 the LORD H3068.
[10] And the beginning H7225 of his kingdom H4467 was Babel H894, and Erech H751, and Accad H390, and Calneh H3641, in the land H776 of Shinar H8152.
[11] Out of that land H776 went forth H3318 (8804) Asshur H804, and builded H1129 (8799) Nineveh H5210, and the city H5892 Rehoboth H7344, and Calah H3625,
[12] And Resen H7449 between Nineveh H5210 and Calah H3625: the same [is] a great H1419 city H5892.
[13] And Mizraim H4714 begat H3205 (8804) Ludim H3866, and Anamim H6047, and Lehabim H3853, and Naphtuhim H5320,

[15] And Canaan H3667 begat H3205 (8804) Sidon H6721 his firstborn H1060, and Heth H2845,
[16] And the Jebusite H2983, and the Amorite H567, and the Girgasite H1622,
[17] And the Hivite H2340, and the Arkite H6208, and the Sinite H5513,
[18] And the Arvadite H721, and the Zemarite H6786, and the Hamathite H2577: and afterward H310 were the families H4940 of the Canaanites H3669 spread abroad H6327 (8738).
[19] And the border H1366 of the Canaanites H3669 was from Sidon H6721, as thou comest H935 (8800) to Gerar H1642, unto Gaza H5804; as thou goest H935 (8800), unto Sodom H5467, and Gomorrah H6017, and Admah H126, and Zeboim H6636, even unto Lasha H3962.
[20] These [are] the sons H1121 of Ham H2526, after their families H4940, after their tongues H3956, in their countries H776, [and] in their nations H1471.
[21] Unto Shem H8035 also, the father H1 of all the children H1121 of Eber H5677, the brother H251 of Japheth H3315 the elder H1419, even to him were [children] born H3205 (8795).
[22] The children H1121 of Shem H8035; Elam H5867, and Asshur H804, and Arphaxad H775, and Lud H3865, and Aram H758.
[23] And the children H1121 of Aram H758; Uz H5780, and Hul H2343, and Gether H1666, and Mash H4851.
[24] And Arphaxad H775 begat H3205 (8804) Salah H7974; and Salah H7974 begat H3205 (8804) Eber H5677.
[25] And unto Eber H5677 were born H3205 (8795) two H8147 sons H1121: the name H8034 of one H259 [was] Peleg H6389; for in his days H3117 was the earth H776 divided H6385 (8738); and his brother’s H251 name H8034 [was] Joktan H3355.
[26] And Joktan H3355 begat H3205 (8804) Almodad H486, and Sheleph H8026, and Hazarmaveth H2700, and Jerah H3392,
[27] And Hadoram H1913, and Uzal H187, and Diklah H1853,
[28] And Obal H5745, and Abimael H39, and Sheba H7614,

[30] And their dwelling H4186 was from Mesha H4852, as thou goest H935 (8800) unto Sephar H5611 a mount H2022 of the east H6924.
[31] These [are] the sons H1121 of Shem H8035, after their families H4940, after their tongues H3956, in their lands H776, after their nations H1471.
[32] These [are] the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Noah H5146, after their generations H8435, in their nations H1471: and by these were the nations H1471 divided H6504 (8738) in the earth H776 after H310 the flood H3999.

[8] And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;
[9] 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.’
[10] And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;
[11] from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,
[12] and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it is the great city.
[13] And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
[14] and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim.
[15] And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, and Heth,
[16] and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
[17] and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
[18] and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered.
[19] 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.
[20] These are sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

[26] And Joktan hath begotten 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 are sons of Joktan;
[30] and their dwelling is from Mesha, in thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.
[31] These are sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.
