Genesis 10

^{Genesis 10:1} This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.

^{Genesis 10:2} The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

^{Genesis 10:3} The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

^{Genesis 10:4} And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.

^{Genesis 10:5} From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

^{Genesis 10:6} The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

^{Genesis 10:7} The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

^{Genesis 10:8} Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.

^{Genesis 10:9} He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”

^{Genesis 10:10} His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

^{Genesis 10:11} From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,

^{Genesis 10:12} and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.

^{Genesis 10:13} Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,

^{Genesis 10:14} the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.

^{Genesis 10:15} And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,

^{Genesis 10:16} the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

^{Genesis 10:17} the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

^{Genesis 10:18} the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered,

^{Genesis 10:19} and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

^{Genesis 10:20} These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

^{Genesis 10:21} And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.

^{Genesis 10:22} The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

^{Genesis 10:23} The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

^{Genesis 10:24} Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.

^{Genesis 10:25} Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.

^{Genesis 10:26} And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

^{Genesis 10:27} Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

^{Genesis 10:28} Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

^{Genesis 10:29} Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

^{Genesis 10:30} Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country.

^{Genesis 10:31} These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

^{Genesis 10:32} All these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.
