--Genesis-- Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. (10:1) The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. (10:2) And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. (10:3) And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. (10:4) By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. (10:5) And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. (10:6) And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. (10:7) And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. (10:8) He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. (10:9) And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. (10:10) Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, (10:11) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great city. (10:12) And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, (10:13) And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. (10:14) And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, (10:15) And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, (10:16) And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, (10:17) And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. (10:18) 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. (10:19) These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations. (10:20) Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born. (10:21) The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. (10:22) And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. (10:23) And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. (10:24) 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. (10:25) And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, (10:26) And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, (10:27) And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, (10:28) And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the sons of Joktan. (10:29) And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. (10:30) These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. (10:31) 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. (10:32) |
