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.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
10 (A)Estas son las generaciones de Sem, Cam y Jafet, hijos de Noé, a quienes les nacieron hijos después del diluvio.
2 Los hijos de Jafet(B): Gomer, Magog(C), Madai(D), Javán, Tubal(E), Mesec(F) y Tiras. 3 Los hijos de Gomer: Askenaz(G), Rifat[a] y Togarmá(H). 4 Los hijos de Javán: Elisa, Tarsis(I), Quitim y Dodanim[b]. 5 De estos, las costas de las naciones se dividieron[c] en sus tierras, cada uno conforme a su lengua, según sus familias, en sus naciones.
6 Los hijos de Cam: Cus, Mizrayim, Fut y Canaán(J). 7 Los hijos de Cus: Seba(K), Havila, Sabta, Raama(L) y Sabteca, y los hijos de Raama: Seba y Dedán(M).
8 Cus fue el padre de Nimrod, que llegó a ser poderoso en la tierra. 9 Él fue un poderoso cazador delante del Señor. Por tanto se dice: «Como Nimrod, poderoso cazador delante del Señor». 10 El comienzo de su reino fue Babel[d](N), Erec, Acad y Calne, en la tierra de Sinar(O). 11 De aquella tierra salió hacia Asiria(P) y edificó Nínive, Rehobot Ir, Cala, 12 y Resén, entre Nínive y Cala; aquella es la gran ciudad.
13 Mizrayim fue el padre de Ludim(Q), de Anamim, de Lehabim, de Naftuhim, 14 de Patrusim, de Casluhim(R) (de donde salieron los filisteos) y de Caftorim.
15 Canaán fue el padre de Sidón(S) su primogénito, y de Het(T), 16 y el antepasado del jebuseo, del amorreo, gergeseo(U), 17 heveo, araceo, sineo, 18 del arvadeo, zemareo y del hamateo. Y después las familias de los cananeos fueron esparcidas. 19 El territorio de los cananeos(V) se extendía[e] desde Sidón, rumbo a[f] Gerar, hasta Gaza; y rumbo a[g] Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma y Zeboim(W), hasta Lasa. 20 Estos son los hijos de Cam, según sus familias, según sus lenguas, por sus tierras, por sus naciones.
21 También le nacieron hijos a Sem, padre de todos los hijos de Heber, y hermano mayor de Jafet[h]. 22 Los hijos de Sem(X): Elam(Y), Asur, Arfaxad(Z), Lud(AA) y Aram. 23 Los hijos de Aram: Uz(AB), Hul, Geter y Mas[i]. 24 Arfaxad fue el padre de Sala(AC), y Sala de Heber.
25 A Heber le nacieron dos hijos: el nombre de uno fue Peleg[j], porque en sus días fue repartida[k] la tierra, y el nombre de su hermano, Joctán(AD). 26 Joctán fue el padre de Almodad, Selef, Hazar Mavet, Jera, 27 Adoram, Uzal, Dicla, 28 Obal[l], Abimael, Seba, 29 Ofir, Havila y de Jobab. Todos estos fueron hijos de Joctán. 30 Su territorio se extendía[m] desde Mesa rumbo a[n] Sefar, la región montañosa del oriente. 31 Estos son los hijos de Sem, según sus familias, según sus lenguas, por sus tierras, conforme a sus naciones.
32 Estas son las familias de los hijos de Noé según sus genealogías, por sus naciones. De ellos se propagaron[o] las naciones sobre la tierra(AE) después del diluvio.

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,[c] 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,[d] 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.
