Chapter 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. |
|
2 | The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog,
and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. |
| 3 | And the
sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. |
| 4 | And the sons
of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
| 5 | By these were
the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue,
after their families, in their nations. |
|
6 | And the sons of Ham; Cush,
and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. |
| 7 | And the sons of Cush; Seba, and
Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba,
and Dedan. |
| 8
| And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the
earth. |
| 9 |
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said,
Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. |
| 10 | And the
beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the
land of Shinar. |
|
11 | Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded
Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, |
|
12 | And Resen between
Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. |
|
13 | And Mizraim begat
Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, |
| 14 | And
Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
|
| 15 | And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, |
| 16 | And the
Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, |
| 17 | And the
Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, |
|
18 | And the Arvadite, and the
Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites
spread abroad. |
|
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. |
| 20 | These are the sons of Ham,
after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their
nations. |
| 21
| Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber,
the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. |
| 22 |
The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
|
| 23 | And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. |
| 24 |
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. |
| 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. |
| 26 | And Joktan
begat 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 | And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of
the east. |
| 31
| These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after
their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. |
| 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. |
