^6 (A)The sons of Ham were Cush and ^[a]Mizraim and Put and Canaan. ⁷ The sons of Cush were ^(B)Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and ^(C)Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were ^(D)Sheba and ^(E)Dedan. ⁸ Now Cush ^[b]was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh.” ¹⁰ The beginning of his kingdom was ^[c](F)Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of ^(G)Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went out ^(H)to Assyria and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. ¹³ Mizraim ^[d]was the father of ^(I)Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim ¹⁴ and ^(J)Pathrusim and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ Canaan ^[e]was the father of ^(K)Sidon, his firstborn, and ^(L)Heth ¹⁶ and ^(M)the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite ¹⁷ and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite ¹⁸ and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were scattered. ^19 (N)The border of the Canaanite ^[f]extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward ^(O)Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. ²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, by their lands, by their nations.
