Bereshis 10:5-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵ By these were the coastlands of the Goyim divided in their lands; every one after his leshon, after their mishpechot, in their Goyim.

⁶ And the Bnei Cham: Cush, and Mitzrayim, and Phut, and Kena’an.

⁷ And the Bnei Cush: Seva, and Chavilah, and Savtah, and Raamah, and Savtecha; and the Bnei Raamah: Sheva, and Dedan.

⁸ And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a gibbor in ha’aretz.

⁹ He was a gibbor, a hunter before Hashem; therefore it is said, like Nimrod the gibbor, the hunter before Hashem.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in Eretz Shinar.

¹¹ Out of that land he went forth to Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rechovot-Ir, and Kelach,

¹² And Resen between Nineveh and Kelach; the same is haIr Hagedolah.

¹³ And Mitzrayim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehavim, and Naphtuchim,

¹⁴ And Patrusim, and Casluchim, out of whom came Pelishtim (Philistines), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ And Kena’an fathered Tzidon his bechor, and Chet,

¹⁶ And the Yevusi, and the Emori, and the Girgashi,

¹⁷ And the Chivvi, and the Arki, and the Sini,

¹⁸ And the Arvadi, and the Tzemari, and the Chamati; and afterward were the mishpechot haKena’ani spread abroad.

¹⁹ And the boundary of the Kena’ani was from Tzidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Azah (Gaza); as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Amora (Gomorrah), and Admah, and Tzevoyim, even unto Lesha.

²⁰ These are the Bnei Cham, after their mishpechot, after their leshonot, in their territories, and in their Goyim.
