Genesis 10-12 Listen to this passage View commentary related to this passage Genesis 10 The Descendants of Noah ¹After the flood Shem, Ham, and Japheth had many descendants. The Descendants of Japheth ^2-5Japheth's descendants had their own languages, tribes, and land. They were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. Gomer was the ancestor of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. Javan was the ancestor of Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim, ^[a] who settled along the coast. The Descendants of Ham ^6-20Ham's descendants had their own languages, tribes, and land. They were Ethiopia, ^[b] Egypt, Put, and Canaan. Cush ^[c] was the ancestor of Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. Raamah was the ancestor of Sheba and Dedan. Cush was also the ancestor of Nimrod, a mighty warrior whose strength came from the LORD. Nimrod is the reason for the saying, "You hunt like Nimrod with the strength of the LORD!" Nimrod first ruled in Babylon, Erech, and Accad, all of ^[d] which were in Babylonia. ^[e] From there Nimrod went to Assyria and built the great city of Nineveh. He also built Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, as well as Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah. Egypt was the ancestor of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim, and Caphtorim, the ancestor of the Philistines. ^[f] Canaan's sons were Sidon and Heth. He was also the ancestor of the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanites spread from the territory of Sidon and went as far as Gaza in the direction of Gerar. They also went as far as Lasha in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim. The Descendants of Shem ^21-31Shem's descendants had their own languages, tribes, and land. He was the older brother of Japheth and the ancestor of the tribes of Eber. Shem was the ancestor of Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. Aram was the ancestor of Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. Arpachshad was the father of Shelah and the grandfather of Eber, whose first son was named Peleg, ^[g] because it was during his time that tribes divided up the earth. Eber's second son was Joktan. Joktan was the ancestor of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. Their land reached from Mesha in the direction of Sephar, the hill country in the east. ³²This completes the list of Noah's descendants. After the flood their descendants became nations and spread all over the world. Genesis 11 The Tower of Babel ¹At first everyone spoke the same language, ²but after some of them moved from the east ^[h] and settled in Babylonia, ^[i] ^3-4they said: Let's build a city with a tower that reaches to the sky! We'll use hard bricks and tar instead of stone and mortar. We'll become famous, and we won't be scattered all over the world. ⁵But when the LORD came down to look at the city and the tower, ⁶he said: These people are working together because they all speak the same language. This is just the beginning. Soon they will be able to do anything they want. ⁷Come on! Let's go down and confuse them by making them speak different languages--then they won't be able to understand each other. ^8-9So the people had to stop building the city, because the LORD confused their language and scattered them all over the earth. That's how the city of Babel ^[j] got its name. The Descendants of Shem ^10-11Two years after the flood, when Shem was one hundred, he had a son named Arpachshad. He had more children and died at the age of six hundred. This is a list of his descendants: ¹²When Arpachshad was thirty-five, he had a son named Shelah. ¹³Arpachshad had more children and died at the age of four hundred thirty-eight. ¹⁴When Shelah was thirty, he had a son named Eber. ¹⁵Shelah had more children and died at the age of four hundred thirty-three. ¹⁶When Eber was thirty-four, he had a son named Peleg. ¹⁷Eber had more children and died at the age of four hundred sixty-four. ¹⁸When Peleg was thirty, he had a son named Reu. ¹⁹Peleg had more children and died at the age of two hundred thirty-nine. ²⁰When Reu was thirty-two he had a son named Serug. ²¹Reu had more children and died at the age of two hundred thirty-nine. ²²When Serug was thirty, he had a son named Nahor. ²³Serug had more children and died at the age of two hundred thirty. ²⁴When Nahor was twenty-nine, he had a son named Terah. ²⁵Nahor had more children and died at the age of one hundred forty-eight. The Descendants of Terah ^26-28After Terah was seventy years old, he had three sons: Abram, Nahor, and Haran, who became the father of Lot. Terah's sons were born in the city of Ur in Chaldea, ^[k] and Haran died there before the death of his father. The following is the story of Terah's descendants. ^29-30Abram married Sarai, but she was not able to have any children. And Nahor married Milcah, who was the daughter of Haran and the sister of Iscah. ³¹Terah decided to move from Ur to the land of Canaan. He took along Abram and Sarai and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran. But when they came to the city of Haran, ^[l] they decided to settle there instead. ³²Terah lived to be two hundred five years old and died in Haran. Genesis 12 The LORD Chooses Abram ¹The LORD said to Abram: Leave your country, your family, and your relatives and go to the land that I will show you. ²I will bless you and make your descendants into a great nation. You will become famous and be a blessing to others. ³I will bless anyone who blesses you, but I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you. ^[m] ^4-5Abram was seventy-five years old when the LORD told him to leave the city of Haran. He obeyed and left with his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and slaves they had gotten while in Haran. When they came to the land of Canaan, ⁶Abram went as far as the sacred tree of Moreh in a place called Shechem. The Canaanites were still living in the land at that time, ⁷but the LORD appeared to Abram and promised, "I will give this land to your family forever." Abram then built an altar there for the LORD. ⁸Abram traveled to the hill country east of Bethel and camped between Bethel and Ai, where he built another altar and worshiped the LORD. ⁹Later, Abram started out toward the Southern Desert. Abram in Egypt ^10-11The crops failed, and there was no food anywhere in the land. So Abram and his wife Sarai went to live in Egypt for a while. But just before they got there, he said, "Sarai, you are really beautiful! ¹²When the Egyptians see how lovely you are, they will murder me because I am your husband. But they won't kill you. ¹³Please save my life by saying that you are my sister." ¹⁴As soon as Abram and Sarai arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians noticed how beautiful she was. ¹⁵The king's ^[n] officials told him about her, and she was taken to his house. ¹⁶The king was good to Abram because of Sarai, and Abram was given sheep, cattle, donkeys, slaves, and camels. ¹⁷Because of Sarai, the LORD struck the king and everyone in his palace with terrible diseases. ¹⁸Finally, the king sent for Abram and said to him, "What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me Sarai was your wife? ¹⁹Why did you make me believe she was your sister? Now I've married her. Take her and go! She's your wife." ²⁰So the king told his men to let Abram and Sarai take their possessions and leave.
