# Chapter 10
|
||
1 These are the family records of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They also had sons after the flood.
|
||
2 Japheth’s sons: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
|
||
3 Gomer’s sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
|
||
4 And Javan’s sons: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
|
||
5 From these descendants, the peoples of the coasts and islands spread out into their lands according to their clans in their nations, each with its own language.
|
||
6 Ham’s sons: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
|
||
7 Cush’s sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And Raamah’s sons: Sheba and Dedan.
|
||
8 Cush fathered Nimrod, who began to be powerful in the land.
|
||
9 He 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.”
|
||
10 His kingdom started with Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
|
||
11 From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah,
|
||
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
|
||
13 Mizraim fathered the people of Lud, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh,
|
||
14 Pathrus, Casluh (the Philistines came from them), and Caphtor.
|
||
15 Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth,
|
||
16 as well as the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
|
||
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
|
||
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the Canaanite clans scattered.
|
||
19 The Canaanite border went from Sidon going toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and going toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim as far as Lasha.
|
||
20 These are Ham’s sons by their clans, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
|
||
21 And Shem, Japheth’s older brother, also had sons. Shem was the father of all the sons of Eber.
|
||
22 Shem’s sons were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
|
||
23 Aram’s sons: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
|
||
24 Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.
|
||
25 Eber had two sons. One was named Peleg, for during his days the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.
|
||
26 And Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
|
||
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
|
||
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
|
||
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were Joktan’s sons.
|
||
30 Their settlements extended from Mesha to Sephar, the eastern hill country.
|
||
31 These are Shem’s sons by their clans, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
|
||
32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their family records, in their nations. The nations on earth spread out from these after the flood. |
