Génesis 10
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Las naciones crecen y se separan
(1 Cr 1:5-23)
10 Esta es la historia de la familia de los hijos de Noé: Sem, Cam y Jafet. Después del diluvio cada uno tuvo hijos.
2 Los hijos de Jafet fueron Gómer, Magog, Maday, Javán, Tubal, Mésec y Tirás.
3 Los hijos de Gómer fueron Asquenaz, Rifat y Togarma.
4 Los hijos de Javán fueron Elisá, Tarsis, Quitín, y Dodanín[a].
5 Los descendientes de Jafet son los que fueron a vivir en las costas del mar[b]. Aquí se menciona cada nación y clan que descendió de él con sus distintos idiomas y territorios.
6 Los hijos de Cam fueron Cus[c], Misrayin[d], Fut y Canaán.
7 Los hijos de Cus fueron Seba, Javilá, Sabtá, Ragama y Sabteca.
Los hijos de Ragama fueron Sabá y Dedán.
8 Cus fue el papá de Nimrod, quien fue el primer hombre fuerte[e] del mundo. 9 Él fue un cazador muy valiente ante el SEÑOR, por eso la gente decía: «Aquel es como Nimrod, cazador muy valiente ante el SEÑOR». 10 El reino de Nimrod se extendió desde la ciudad de Babel hasta Érec, Acad y Calné en la tierra de Sumeria. 11 Desde allí se fue hacia Asiria donde construyó las ciudades de Nínive, Rejobot Ir, Cala 12 y Resen que estaba entre Nínive y la gran ciudad de Cala.
13 Misrayin fue el antepasado de las tribus de los ludeos, los anameos, los leabitas, los naftuitas, 14 los patruseos, los caslujitas y los caftoritas. Los filisteos son descendientes de los caslujitas.
15 Canaán fue el papá de Sidón, su primer hijo, y de Het. 16 Canaán también fue el antepasado de los jebuseos, los amorreos, los gergeseos, 17 los heveos, los araceos, los sineos, 18 los arvadeos, los zemareos y los jamatitas.
Luego estos clanes cananeos se esparcieron por el mundo. 19 Su territorio se extendía desde Sidón hacia Guerar hasta llegar a Gaza y, hacia Sodoma, Gomorra, Admá y Zeboyín, hasta llegar a Lasa.
20 Estos fueron los descendientes de Cam, cada nación y clan que descendió de él con sus distintos idiomas y territorios.
21 Sem también tuvo hijos. Él fue el antepasado de todos los hijos de Éber y hermano mayor de Jafet.
22 Los hijos de Sem fueron Elam, Asur, Arfaxad, Lud y Aram.
23 Los hijos de Aram fueron Uz, Hul, Guéter y Mas.
24 Arfaxad fue el papá de Selaj.
Selaj fue el papá de Éber.
25 Éber tuvo dos hijos. El primero se llamaba Péleg, porque en ese tiempo la tierra estaba dividida[f]. Su hermano se llamaba Joctán.
26 Joctán fue el papá de Almodad, Sélef, Jazar Mávet, Yeraj, 27 Hadorán, Uzal, Diclá, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sabá, 29 Ofir, Javilá y Jobab. Todos estos fueron descendientes de Joctán. 30 Toda esa gente vivía en las colinas del oriente, desde Mesá hacia Sefar.
31 Esos fueron los descendientes de Sem, cada nación y clan que descendió de él con sus distintos idiomas y territorios.
32 Estos son los descendientes de los hijos de Noé y sus descendientes, nación por nación. Esas naciones se extendieron por la tierra después del diluvio.

Genesis 10
King James Version
10 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.
