Genesis 10 — NETB

10Verse 1This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.^{Verse 2}The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.^{Verse 3}The sons of Gomer were Askenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.^{Verse 4}The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, and the Dodanim.^{Verse 5}From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to its language, according to their families, by their nations.^{Verse 6}The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.^{Verse 7}The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.^{Verse 8}Cush was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a valiant warrior on the earth.^{Verse 9}He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. (That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.”)^{Verse 10}The primary regions of his kingdom were Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.^{Verse 11}From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,^{Verse 12}and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city Calah.^{Verse 13}Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites,^{Verse 14}Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and Caphtorites.^{Verse 15}Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, Heth,^{Verse 16}the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,^{Verse 17}Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,^{Verse 18}Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. Eventually the families of the Canaanites were scattered^{Verse 19}and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon all the way to Gerar as far as Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.^{Verse 20}These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.^{Verse 21}And sons were also born to Shem (the older brother of Japheth), the father of all the sons of Eber.^{Verse 22}The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.^{Verse 23}The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.^{Verse 24}Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.^{Verse 25}Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan.^{Verse 26}Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,^{Verse 27}Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,^{Verse 28}Obal, Abimael, Sheba,^{Verse 29}Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.^{Verse 30}Their dwelling place was from Mesha all the way to Sephar in the eastern hills.^{Verse 31}These are the sons of Shem according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and according to their nations.^{Verse 32}These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations, and from these the nations spread over the earth after the flood.
