10:1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

10:2The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

10:3And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

10:4And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

10:5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

10:6And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

10:7And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

10:8And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

10:9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

10:10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

10:11Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

10:12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

10:13And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

10:14And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

10:15And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

10:16And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

10:17And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

10:18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

10:19And 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.

10:20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

10:21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

10:22The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

10:23And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

10:24And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

10:25And 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.

10:26And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

10:27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

10:28And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

10:29And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.

10:30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
