Chapter 10

1

NOW these are the generations of the sons of Noach, Shem, Cham, and Yapheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

2

The sons of Yapheth; Gimer, and Magog, and Madai, and Yavan, and Tubal, and Meshek, and Thiyrac.

3

And the sons of Gimer; Ashkenaz, and Riyphath, and Togarmah.

4

And the sons of Yavan; Eliyshah, and Tarshiysh, Kittiym, and Dodaniym.

5

By these were the isles of the other nations divided in their lands; everyone after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

6

And the sons of Cham; Kush, and Mitsrayim, and Put, and Kena`an.

7

And the sons of Kush; Ceva, and Chaviylah, and Cavta, and Ra`amah, and Cavteka: and the sons of Ra`amah; Sheva, and Dedan.

8

And Kush begat Nimrod: he began to be a warrior and hunter in the earth.

9

He was a warrior and a hunter before Yahuah: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the warrior hunter before Yahuah.

10

And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erek, and Akkad, and Kalneh, in the land of Shin'ar.

11

Out of that land went forth Ashshur, and built Niyneveh, and the city Rechovoth, and Kelach,

12

And Recen between Niyneveh and Kelach: the same is a great city.

13

And Mitsrayim begat Ludiym, and Anamiym, and Lehaviym, and Naphtuchiym,

14

And Pathruciym, and Kacluchiym, (out of whom came Pelishtiym,) and Kaphtoriym.

15

And Kena`an begat Tsiydon his firstborn, and Cheth,

16

And the Yevuciy, and the Emoriy, and the Girgashiy,

17

And the Chivviy, and the Arqiy, and the Ciyniy,

18

And the Arvadiy, and the Tsemariy, and the Chamathiy: and afterward were the families of the Kena`aniym spread abroad.

19

And the border of the Kena`aniym was from Tsiydon, as you come to Gerar, unto Gaza; as you go, unto Cedom, and Amorah, and Admah, and Tseviym, even unto Lesha.

20

These are the sons of Cham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

21

Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Yapheth the elder, even to him were children born.

22

The children of Shem; Eylam, and Ashshur, and Arpakshad, and Lud, and Aram.

23

And the children of Aram; Uts, and Chul, and Gether, and Mash.

24

And Arpakshad begat Shelach; and Shelach begat Eber.

25

And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Yoqtan.

26

And Yoqtan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Chatsarmaveth, and Yerach,

27

And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diqlah,

28

And Oval, and Aviyma'el, and Sheva,

29

And Ophiyr, and Chaviylah, and Yovav: all these were the sons of Yoqtan.

30

And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go unto Cephar a mountain of the east.

31

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

32

These are the families of the sons of Noach, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
