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 on 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 on the earth after the flood.

Genesis 10 (KJVS)

[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 Sabtechah: 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.
