Genesis 10
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
10 Hae sunt generationes filiorum Noe, Sem, Cham et Japheth: natique sunt eis filii post diluvium.
2 Filii Japheth: Gomer, et Magog, et Madai, et Javan, et Thubal, et Mosoch, et Thiras.
3 Porro filii Gomer: Ascenez et Riphath et Thogorma.
4 Filii autem Javan: Elisa et Tharsis, Cetthim et Dodanim.
5 Ab his divisae sunt insulae gentium in regionibus suis, unusquisque secundum linguam suam et familias suas in nationibus suis.
6 Filii autem Cham: Chus, et Mesraim, et Phuth, et Chanaan.
7 Filii Chus: Saba, et Hevila, et Sabatha, et Regma, et Sabatacha. Filii Regma: Saba et Dadan.
8 Porro Chus genuit Nemrod: ipse coepit esse potens in terra,
9 et erat robustus venator coram Domino. Ob hoc exivit proverbium: Quasi Nemrod robustus venator coram Domino.
10 Fuit autem principium regni ejus Babylon, et Arach et Achad, et Chalanne, in terra Sennaar.
11 De terra illa egressus est Assur, et aedificavit Niniven, et plateas civitatis, et Chale.
12 Resen quoque inter Niniven et Chale: haec est civitas magna.
13 At vero Mesraim genuit Ludim, et Anamim et Laabim, Nephthuim,
14 et Phetrusim, et Chasluim: de quibus egressi sunt Philisthiim et Caphtorim.
15 Chanaan autem genuit Sidonem primogenitum suum. Hethaeum,
16 et Jebusaeum, et Amorrhaeum, Gergesaeum,
17 Hevaeum, et Aracaeum: Sinaeum,
18 et Aradium, Samaraeum, et Amathaeum: et post haec disseminati sunt populi Chananaeorum.
19 Factique sunt termini Chanaan venientibus a Sidone Geraram usque Gazam, donec ingrediaris Sodomam et Gomorrham, et Adamam, et Seboim usque Lesa.
20 Hi sunt filii Cham in cognationibus, et linguis, et generationibus, terrisque et gentibus suis.
21 De Sem quoque nati sunt, patre omnium filiorum Heber, fratre Japheth majore.
22 Filii Sem: AElam, et Assur, et Arphaxad, et Lud, et Aram.
23 Filii Aram: Us, et Hul, et Gether, et Mes.
24 At vero Arphaxad genuit Sale, de quo ortus est Heber.
25 Natique sunt Heber filii duo: nomen uni Phaleg, eo quod in diebus ejus divisa sit terra: et nomen fratris ejus Jectan.
26 Qui Jectan genuit Elmodad, et Saleph, et Asarmoth, Jare,
27 et Aduram, et Uzal, et Decla,
28 et Ebal, et Abimael, Saba,
29 et Ophir, et Hevila, et Jobab: omnes isti, filii Jectan.
30 Et facta est habitatio eorum de Messa pergentibus usque Sephar montem orientalem.
31 Isti filii Sem secundum cognationes, et linguas, et regiones in gentibus suis.
32 Hae familiae Noe juxta populos et nationes suas. Ab his divisae sunt gentes in terra post diluvium.

The Table of Nations
10 This is the account(A) of Shem, Ham and Japheth,(B) Noah’s sons,(C) who themselves had sons after the flood.
The Japhethites(D)
2 The sons[a] of Japheth:
Gomer,(E) Magog,(F) Madai, Javan,(G) Tubal,(H) Meshek(I) and Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer:
Ashkenaz,(J) Riphath and Togarmah.(K)
4 The sons of Javan:
Elishah,(L) Tarshish,(M) the Kittites(N) and the Rodanites.[b] 5 (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)(O)
The Hamites(P)
6 The sons of Ham:
Cush,(Q) Egypt, Put(R) and Canaan.(S)
7 The sons of Cush:
Seba,(T) Havilah,(U) Sabtah, Raamah(V) and Sabteka.
The sons of Raamah:
8 Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod,(Y) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty(Z) hunter(AA) before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon,(AB) Uruk,(AC) Akkad and Kalneh,(AD) in[d] Shinar.[e](AE) 11 From that land he went to Assyria,(AF) where he built Nineveh,(AG) Rehoboth Ir,[f] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.
13 Egypt was the father of
the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines(AH) came) and Caphtorites.(AI)
15 Canaan(AJ) was the father of
Sidon(AK) his firstborn,[g](AL) and of the Hittites,(AM) 16 Jebusites,(AN) Amorites,(AO) Girgashites,(AP) 17 Hivites,(AQ) Arkites, Sinites, 18 Arvadites,(AR) Zemarites and Hamathites.(AS)
Later the Canaanite(AT) clans scattered 19 and the borders of Canaan(AU) reached from Sidon(AV) toward Gerar(AW) as far as Gaza,(AX) and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim,(AY) as far as Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
The Semites(AZ)
21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was[h] Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.(BA)
22 The sons of Shem:
Elam,(BB) Ashur,(BC) Arphaxad,(BD) Lud and Aram.(BE)
23 The sons of Aram:
Uz,(BF) Hul, Gether and Meshek.[i]
24 Arphaxad was the father of[j] Shelah,
and Shelah the father of Eber.(BG)
25 Two sons were born to Eber:
One was named Peleg,[k] because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of
Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal,(BH) Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,(BI) 29 Ophir,(BJ) Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons,(BK) according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth(BL) after the flood.
