Genesis 10
Authorized (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 Sabtecha: 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 firstborn, 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.

New King James Version
Nations Descended from Noah(A)
10 Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (B)And sons were born to them after the flood.
2 (C)The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, [a]Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and [b]Dodanim. 5 From these (D)the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
6 (E)The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, [c]Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush begot (F)Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty (G)hunter (H)before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 (I)And the beginning of his kingdom was (J)Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went (K)to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim (L)(from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
15 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and (M)Heth; 16 (N)the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 17 the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; 18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. 19 (O)And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.
21 And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, [d]the brother of Japheth the elder. 22 The (P)sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, (Q)Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and [e]Mash. 24 [f]Arphaxad begot (R)Salah, and Salah begot Eber. 25 (S)To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was [g]Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 [h]Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.
32 (T)These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; (U)and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.

Reina Valera Contemporánea
Los descendientes de los hijos de Noé(A)
10 Éstos son los descendientes de los hijos de Noé: Sem, Cam y Jafet, quienes tuvieron hijos después del diluvio. 2 Los hijos de Jafet: Gomer, Magog, Maday, Javán, Tubal, Mesec y Tiras. 3 Los hijos de Gomer: Askenaz, Rifat y Togarmá. 4 Los hijos de Javán: Elisa, Tarsis, Quitín y Rodanín. 5 Con ellos se poblaron las costas, cada uno según su lengua y conforme a sus familias en sus naciones.
6 Los hijos de Cam: Cus, Misrayin, Fut y Canaán. 7 Los hijos de Cus: Sebá, Javilá, Sabta, Ragama y Sabteca. Los hijos de Ragama: Sebá y Dedán. 8 Cus engendró a Nimrod, quien llegó a ser el primer hombre poderoso en la tierra. 9 Éste fue un vigoroso cazador delante del Señor. Por eso se dice: «Así como Nimrod, vigoroso cazador delante del Señor.» 10 Las ciudades principales de su reino fueron Babel, Erec, Acad y Calne, en la tierra de Sinar. 11 De esta tierra salió para Asiria, y allí edificó Nínive, Rejobot, Calaj, 12 y Resén, la gran ciudad que está entre Nínive y Calaj. 13 Misrayin engendró a Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naftuhim, 14 Patrusim y Casluhim, de donde salieron los filisteos, y también a Caftorim.
15 Canaán engendró a Sidón, su primogénito, a Jet, 16 y a los jebuseos, amorreos, gergeseos, 17 jivitas, araceos, sineos, 18 arvadeos, semareos y jamatitas. Después se dispersaron las familias de los cananeos. 19 El territorio de los cananeos se extendía desde Sidón, en dirección a Gerar, hasta Gaza; y en dirección de Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma y Zeboyin, hasta Lasa. 20 Éstos son los hijos de Cam, por sus familias, lenguas, tierras y naciones.
21 También tuvo hijos Sem, que era padre 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, Jul, Geter y Mas. 24 Arfaxad engendró a Selaj, y Selaj engendró a Éber. 25 A Éber le nacieron dos hijos. Uno de ellos se llamó Peleg,[a] porque en sus días la tierra se dividió. Su hermano se llamó Joctán. 26 Y Joctán engendró a Almodad, Selef, Jasar Mávet, Yera, 27 Hadorán, Uzal, Diclá, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sebá, 29 Ofir, Javilá y Jobab; todos estos fueron hijos de Joctán. 30 La tierra que habitaron se extendía desde Mesa, en dirección de Sefar, hasta la región montañosa oriental. 31 Éstos fueron los hijos de Sem por sus familias, lenguas, tierras y naciones. 32 Éstas son las familias de los hijos de Noé por sus descendencias y naciones. De ellos se esparcieron las naciones en la tierra después del diluvio.
