Nations Descended from Noah

10 These are the descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; children were born to them after the flood.

The descendants of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The descendants of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The descendants of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.[a] From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the descendants of Japheth[b] in their lands, with their own language, by their families, in their nations.

The descendants of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to become a mighty warrior. 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 Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in 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 Egypt became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, Casluhim, and Caphtorim, from which the Philistines come.[c]

15 Canaan became the father of 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. Afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 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 descendants of Ham, by their families, 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 descendants of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The descendants of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg,[d] for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the descendants of Joktan. 30 The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar, the hill country of the east. 31 These are the descendants of Shem, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

32 These are the families of Noah’s sons, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

De lijst met de namen van de volken.

10 Dit is de familie van Sem, Cham en Jafet, de zonen van Noach. Dit zijn de zonen die zij na de overstroming kregen.

De zonen van Jafet waren: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Mesech en Tiras.

De zonen van Gomer waren: Askenaz, Rifat en Togarma.

De zonen van Javan waren: Elisa en Tarsis. Ook is hij de voorvader van de Kittieten en de Dodanieten. Dat zijn de volken die op de eilanden en langs de kust gingen wonen. Ze woonden in verschillende gebieden, verdeeld volgens hun stammen en families, met allemaal een eigen taal.

De zonen van Cham waren: Kush, Mizraïm, Put en Kanaän.

De zonen van Kush waren: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raëma en Sabtecha.

De zonen van Raëma waren: Scheba en Dedan. Kush kreeg een zoon: Nimrod. Nimrod was de eerste grote heerser op aarde. Hij was een geweldig jager in de ogen van de Heer. Daarom werd er voortaan wel gezegd van iemand die net zó was: "Hij is een Nimrod in de ogen van de Heer." 10 De belangrijkste steden van zijn koninkrijk waren Babel, Erech, Akkad en Kalne, in het land Sinear. 11 Vanuit het land Sinear trok hij naar Assur en bouwde Ninevé, Réhobot, Ir, Kala en Resen. 12 Resen was een grote stad tussen Ninevé en Kala.

13 Mizraïm is de voorvader van de Ludieten, de Anamieten, de Lehabieten, de Naftuhieten, 14 de Patrusieten, de Kasluhieten (waaruit de Filistijnen zijn ontstaan) en de Kaftorieten.

15 Kanaän werd vader van Sidon, zijn eerste zoon, en Het. 16 Hij is de voorvader van de Jebusieten, de Amorieten, de Girgasieten, 17 de Hevieten, de Arkieten, de Sinieten, de Arvadieten, de Zemarieten en de Hamatieten. 18 Daarna verspreidden de verschillende families van Kanaän zich. 19 De grens van het gebied van de Kanaänieten liep van Sidon in de richting van Gerar tot Gaza, in de richting van Sodom, Gomorra, Adama en Zeboïm tot Lasa.

20 Dit waren de zonen van Cham. Ze woonden in verschillende gebieden, verdeeld volgens hun stammen en families, met allemaal een eigen taal.

21 Ook Sem, de broer van Jafet, kreeg zonen. Sem was de oudste zoon van Noach. Sem was de overgrootvader van Heber. 22 De zonen van Sem waren: Elam, Assur, Arpachsad, Lud en Aram.

23 De zonen van Aram waren: Uz, Hul, Geter en Mas.

24 Arpachsad kreeg een zoon: Sela. Sela kreeg een zoon: Heber.

25 Heber kreeg twee zonen: de ene heette Peleg (= 'scheiding'), want in zijn tijd werd de aarde gedeeld. De andere zoon, de broer van Peleg, heette Joktan.

26 De zonen van Joktan waren: Almodad, Selef, Hazarmavet, Jera, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla, 28 Obal, Abimaël, Scheba, 29 Ofir, Havila en Jobab. Dat waren de zonen van Joktan. 30 Ze woonden vanaf Mescha naar het oosten, in de richting van de bergen van Sefar.

31 Dit waren de zonen van Sem. Ze woonden in verschillende gebieden, verdeeld volgens hun stammen en families, met allemaal een eigen taal.

32 Dit zijn de families van de zonen van Noach. Deze families werden volken, die zich na de grote overstroming over de aarde verspreidden.

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.

(C)The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, [a]Riphath, and Togarmah. The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and [b]Dodanim. 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.

(E)The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, [c]Put, and Canaan. The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

Cush begot (F)Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 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.
