Nations Descended from Noah

10 Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. aAnd sons were born to them after the flood.

2 bThe sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, 1Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and 2Dodanim. 5 From these cthe coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

6 dThe sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, 3Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush begot eNimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty fhunter gbefore the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 hAnd the beginning of his kingdom was iBabel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went jto Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).

13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim k(from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).

15 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and lHeth; 16 mthe Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 17 the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; 18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
