10:1  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:
10:2  the sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras;
10:3  the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah;
10:4  the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
10:5  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:
10:6  the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim [from whom descended the Egyptians], Put, and Canaan;
10:7  the sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah; Sheba and Dedan.
10:8  Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.
10:9  He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”
10:10  The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar [in Babylonia].
10:11  From that land Nimrod went to Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
10:12  and [Nimrod built] Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; all these [combined to form] the great city [Nineveh].
10:13  Mizraim [the ancestor of the Egyptians] became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim
10:14  and Pathrusim and Casluhim—from whom came the Philistines—and Caphtorim.
10:15  Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth
10:16  and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite
10:17  and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite
10:18  and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.
10:19  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.
10:20  These are the descendants of Ham according to their constituent groups, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.
10:21  Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber [including the Hebrews], the older brother of Japheth, children were born.
10:22  The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram;
10:23  the sons of Aram [ancestor of the Syrians]: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.
10:24  Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.
10:25  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.
10:26  Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
10:27  and Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
10:28  and Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
10:29  and Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
10:30  Now their territory extended from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, to the hill country of the east.
10:31  These are Shem’s descendants according to their constituent groups (families), according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.
10:32  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.
