Genesis 10

Descendants of Noah

 ¹Now 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(A)The sons of Japheth were ^(B)Gomer and Magog and ^(C)Madai and ^(D)Javan and Tubal and ^(E)Meshech and Tiras.

 ³The sons of Gomer were ^(F)Ashkenaz and Riphath and ^(G)Togarmah.

 ⁴The sons of Javan were Elishah and ^(H)Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim.

 ⁵From 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(I)The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

 ⁷The sons of Cush were ^(J)Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and ^(K)Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were ^(L)Sheba and ^(M)Dedan.

 ⁸Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.

 ⁹He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."

 ¹⁰The beginning of his kingdom was ^[a](N)Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of ^(O)Shinar.

 ¹¹From that land he went forth ^(P)into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,

 ¹²and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.

 ¹³Mizraim became the father of ^(Q)Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim

 ¹⁴and ^(R)Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

 ¹⁵Canaan became the father of ^(S)Sidon, his firstborn, and ^(T)Heth

 ¹⁶and ^(U)the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite

 ¹⁷and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite

 ¹⁸and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.

 ^19(V)The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward ^(W)Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

 ²⁰These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.

 ²¹Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born.

 ^22(X)The sons of Shem were ^(Y)Elam and Asshur and ^(Z)Arpachshad and ^(AA)Lud and Aram.

 ²³The sons of Aram were ^(AB)Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

 ²⁴Arpachshad became the father of ^(AC)Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

 ^25(AD)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.

 ²⁶Joktan became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

 ²⁷and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

 ²⁸and Obal and Abimael and Sheba

 ²⁹and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

 ³⁰Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.

 ³¹These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.

 ³²These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and ^(AE)out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
