[[Genesis 9|<< Genesis 9]] | [[Genesis|Genesis]] | [[Genesis 11|Genesis 11 >>]] ### Genesis 10 1 NOW these _are_ the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. ^1 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ^2 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ^3 4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ^4 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. ^5 6 ¶ And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. ^6 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. ^7 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. ^8 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. ^9 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ^10 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, ^11 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same _is_ a great city. ^12 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ^13 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. ^14 15 ¶ And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ^15 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, ^16 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ^17 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. ^18 19 And 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. ^19 20 These _are_ the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, _and_ in their nations. ^20 21 ¶ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were _children_ born. ^21 22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ^22 23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ^23 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. ^24 25 And 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. ^25 26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, ^26 27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ^27 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ^28 29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these _were_ the sons of Joktan. ^29 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. ^30 31 These _are_ the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. ^31 32 These _are_ the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. ^32
