Genesis 10:1-32 NKJV

[1] Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. [2] The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. [3] The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. [4] The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. [5] From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. [6] The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, 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 Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. [9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD." [10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. [11] From that land he went 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 (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim). [15] Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth; [16] 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] 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, the brother of Japheth the elder. [22] The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. [23] The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. [24] Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber. [25] To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was 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] 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] These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
