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.

Discendenza dei figli di Noè
10 (A)Questa è la discendenza dei figli di *Noè: Sem, Cam e Iafet; a loro nacquero dei figli, dopo il diluvio.
2 I figli di Iafet furono: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Iavan, Tubal, Mesec e Tiras. 3 I figli di Gomer furono: Aschenaz, Rifat e Togarma. 4 I figli di Iavan furono: Elisa, Tarsis, Chittim e Dodanim. 5 Da costoro derivarono i popoli sparsi nelle isole delle nazioni, nei loro diversi paesi, ciascuno secondo la propria lingua, secondo le loro famiglie, nelle loro nazioni.
6 (B)I figli di Cam furono: Cus, Misraim, [a]Put e *Canaan. 7 I figli di Cus furono: Seba, Avila, Sabta, Raama e Sabteca; i figli di Raama: Seba e Dedan. 8 Cus generò Nimrod, che cominciò a essere potente sulla terra. 9 Egli fu un potente cacciatore davanti al Signore; perciò si dice: «Come Nimrod, potente cacciatore davanti al Signore». 10 Il principio del suo regno fu *Babel, Erec, Accad e Calne nel paese di Scinear. 11 Da quel paese andò in Assiria[b] e costruí *Ninive, Recobot-Ir e Cala; 12 e tra Ninive e Cala, Resen, la grande città. 13 Misraim generò i Ludim, gli Anamim, i Leabim, i Naftuim, 14 i Patrusim, i Casluim (da dove uscirono i *Filistei) e i Caftorim. 15 Canaan generò Sidon, suo primogenito, e Chet, 16 e i Gebusei, gli *Amorei, i Ghirgasei, 17 gli Ivvei, gli Archei, i Sinei, 18 gli Arvadei, i Semarei e i Camatei. Poi le famiglie dei Cananei si sparsero. 19 I confini dei Cananei andarono da *Sidon, in direzione di Gherar, fino a Gaza e in direzione di *Sodoma, *Gomorra, Adma e Seboim fino a Lesa. 20 Questi sono i figli di Cam, secondo le loro famiglie, secondo le loro lingue, nei loro paesi, nelle loro nazioni.
21 (C)Anche a Sem, padre di tutti i figli di Eber e fratello maggiore di Iafet, nacquero dei figli. 22 I figli di Sem furono: Elam, Assur, Arpacsad, Lud e *Aram. 23 I figli di Aram furono: Uz, Ul, Gheter e Mas. 24 Arpacsad generò Sela, e Sela generò Eber. 25 A Eber nacquero due figli; il nome dell'uno fu Peleg[c], perché ai suoi giorni la terra fu spartita; e il nome di suo fratello fu Ioctan. 26 Ioctan generò Almodad, Selef, Asarmavet, Iera, 27 Adoram, Uzal, Dicla, 28 Obal, Abimael, Seba, 29 Ofir, Avila e Iobab. Tutti questi furono figli di Ioctan. 30 La loro dimora era sulla montagna orientale, da Mesa in direzione di Sefar. 31 Questi sono i figli di Sem, secondo le loro famiglie, secondo le loro lingue, nei loro paesi, secondo le loro nazioni.
32 Queste sono le famiglie dei figli di Noè, secondo le loro generazioni, nelle loro nazioni; da essi uscirono le nazioni che si sparsero sulla terra dopo il diluvio.

The sons of Raamah:
8 Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod,(Y) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty(Z) hunter(AA) before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon,(AB) Uruk,(AC) Akkad and Kalneh,(AD) in[d] Shinar.[e](AE) 11 From that land he went to Assyria,(AF) where he built Nineveh,(AG) Rehoboth Ir,[f] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.

30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons,(BK) according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth(BL) after the flood.
