Genesis 10:6–20

⁶Ham’s sons: ^uCush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. ⁷Cush’s sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And Raamah’s sons: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸Cush fathered Nimrod, who was the first powerful man on earth. ⁹He was a powerful hunter in the sight of the Lord. That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a powerful hunter in the sight of the Lord.” ¹⁰His kingdom started with Babylon, ^vErech, ^wAccad, ^xand Calneh, ^yin the land of Shinar. ^za11From that land he went to Assyria ^band built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah, ¹²and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city Calah.

¹³Mizraim ^cdfathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, ¹⁴Pathrusim, Casluhim (the Philistines came from them), and Caphtorim. ^e

¹⁵Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, then Heth, ¹⁶the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, ^f17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, ¹⁸the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the Canaanite clans scattered. ¹⁹The Canaanite border went from Sidon going toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and going toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim as far as Lasha.

²⁰These are Ham’s sons, by their clans, according to their languages, in their own lands and their nations.
