| Chapter 10 |
1 |
These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood. |
2 |
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras. |
3 |
And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma. |
4 |
And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim, and Dodanim. |
5 |
By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations. |
6 |
And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan. |
7 |
And the sons of Chus: Saba and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan. |
8 |
Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on earth. |
9 |
And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord. |
10 |
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar. |
11 |
Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale. |
12 |
Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city. |
13 |
And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim, |
14 |
And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim. |
15 |
And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite, |
16 |
And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite, |
17 |
The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite, |
18 |
And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad. |
19 |
And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa. |
20 |
These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations. |
21 |
Of Sem also, the father of all children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born. |
22 |
The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. |
23 |
The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether: and Mess. |
24 |
But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber. |
25 |
And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name Jectan. |
26 |
Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare, |
27 |
And Anduram, and Uzal, and Decla, |
28 |
And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba, |
29 |
And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. |
30 |
And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east. |
31 |
These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations. |
32 |
These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood. |
