Genesis 10 [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 1. |
Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood. |
| 2. |
The sons of Japheth were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. |
| 3. |
The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah. |
| 4. |
The sons of Javan were Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim. |
| 5. |
From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. |
| 6. |
The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan. |
| 7. |
The sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. |
| 8. |
Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth. |
| 9. |
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD." |
| 10. |
The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. |
| 11. |
From that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, |
| 12. |
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. |
| 13. |
Mizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim |
| 14. |
and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim. |
| 15. |
Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth |
| 16. |
and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite |
| 17. |
and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite |
| 18. |
and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. |
| 19. |
The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. |
| 20. |
These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations. |
| 21. |
Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born. |
| 22. |
The sons of Shem were Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram. |
| 23. |
The sons of Aram were Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. |
| 24. |
Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. |
| 25. |
Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. |
| 26. |
Joktan became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah |
| 27. |
and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah |
| 28. |
and Obal and Abimael and Sheba |
| 29. |
and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. |
| 30. |
Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. |
| 31. |
These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations. |
| 32. |
These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood. |
