Genesis 10:1-32 GW
[1] This is the account of Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their descendants. Shem, Ham and Japheth had children after the flood. [2] Japheth's descendants were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. [3] Gomer's descendants were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. [4] Javan's descendants were the people from Elishah, Tarshish, Cyprus, and Rhodes. [5] From these descendants the people of the coastlands spread into their own countries. Each nation had its own language and families. [6] Ham's descendants were Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. [7] Cush's descendants were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. Raamah's descendants were Sheba and Dedan. [8] Cush was the father of Nimrod, the first mighty warrior on the earth. [9] He was a mighty hunter whom the LORD blessed. That's why people used to say, "He's like Nimrod, a mighty hunter whom the LORD blessed." [10] The first cities in his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh in Shinar [Babylonia]. [11] He went from that land to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, [12] and Resen, the great city between Nineveh and Calah. [13] Egypt was the ancestor of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, [14] Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites. [15] Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, then Heth, [16] also the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, [17] the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, [18] the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite families scattered. [19] The border of the Canaanites extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim as far as Lasha. [20] These were Ham's descendants by families and languages within their countries and nations. [21] Shem, Japheth's older brother, also had children. Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber. [22] Shem's descendants were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. [23] Aram's descendants were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. [24] Arpachshad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber. [25] Two sons were born to Eber. The name of the one was Peleg [Division], because in his day the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan. [26] Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, [27] Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, [28] Obal, Abimael, Sheba, [29] Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. These were Joktan's sons. [30] The region where they lived extended from Mesha toward Sephar in the eastern mountains. [31] These were Shem's descendants by families and languages within their countries according to their nations. [32] These were the families of Noah's sons listed by their genealogies, nation by nation. From these descendants the nations spread over the earth after the flood.
