Genesis 10
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.

8 Cush was the father of Nimrod. He became a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Even like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel,[b] Uruk, Akkad, and Kalneh in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, the city Rehoboth Ir, and Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).

Later the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon toward Gerar to Gaza, and then to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboyim, as far as Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.

24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah,
and Shelah was the father of Eber.
25 To Eber were born two sons.
The name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; his brother’s name was Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of
Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

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.
