Genesis 10:1-32 AMP

[1] These are the records of the generations (descendants) of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and the sons born to them after the flood: [2] 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, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. [5] From these, [the people of] the coastlands of the nations were separated and spread into their lands, every one according to his own language, according to their constituent groups (families), and into their nations: [6] the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim [from whom descended the Egyptians], Put, and Canaan; [7] the sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah; Sheba and Dedan. [8] Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth. [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 Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar [in Babylonia]. [11] From that land Nimrod went to Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, [12] and [Nimrod built] Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; all these [combined to form] the great city [Nineveh]. [13] Mizraim [the ancestor of the Egyptians] became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim [14] and Pathrusim and Casluhim—from whom came the Philistines—and Caphtorim. [15] Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth [16] and 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. Afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. [19] The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as one goes to Gerar, as far as Gaza; and as one goes to Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. [20] These are the descendants of Ham according to their constituent groups, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations. [21] Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber [including the Hebrews], the older brother of Japheth, children were born. [22] The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram; [23] the sons of Aram [ancestor of the Syrians]: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash. [24] Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. [25] Two sons were born to Eber; the name of one was Peleg (division), for [the inhabitants of] the earth were divided in his days; and his brother’s name was Joktan. [26] Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, [27] and Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, [28] and Obal, Abimael, Sheba, [29] and Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. [30] Now their territory extended from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, to the hill country of the east. [31] These are Shem’s descendants according to their constituent groups (families), according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations. [32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and from these [people] the nations were separated and spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
