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. |
