Genesis 10
English Standard Version
Nations Descended from Noah
10 These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
2 (A)The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, (B)Tarshish, (C)Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 From these (D)the coastland peoples spread in their lands, each with his own language, by their clans, in their nations.
6 (E)The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.[a] 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The beginning of his kingdom was (F)Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in (G)the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and 12 Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13 (H)Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom[b] the Philistines came), and (I)Caphtorim.
15 (J)Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth, 16 and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites dispersed. 19 And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born. 22 The (K)sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad fathered (L)Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 25 (M)To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg,[c] for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 (N)Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
32 These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, (O)and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

Orthodox Jewish Bible
10 Now these are the toldot of the Bnei Noach: Shem, Cham, and Yephet; and unto them were banim born after the mabbul (flood).
2 The Bnei Yephet: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Yavan, and Tuval, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the Bnei Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphat, and Togarmah.
4 And the Bnei Yavan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
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.
21 Also unto Shem avi kol Bnei Ever, and the older brother of Yephet, even to him were offspring born.
22 The Bnei Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And Bnei Aram: Uz, and Chul, and Geter, and Mash.
24 And Arpachshad fathered Shelach; and Shelach fathered Ever.
25 And unto Ever were born two banim: the shem of one was Peleg; for in his days was ha’aretz divided; and his brother’s shem was Yoktan.
26 And Yoktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Chatzarmavet, and Yerach,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 And Oval, and Avimael, and Sheva,
29 And Ophir, and Chavilah, and Yovav; all these were the Bnei Yoktan.
30 And their moshav (dwelling) was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar har hakedem.
31 These are the Bnei Shem, after their mishpechot, according to their leshonot, in their territories, after their Goyim.
32 These are the mishpechot of the Bnei Noach, after their toldot, in their Goyim; and by these were the Goyim divided/separated in ha’aretz after the mabbul.
