Genesis 10

¹Now this is the account about the development of groups of people who descended from Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah. Sons^[1] were born to them after the flood.

The Descendants of Japheth

²The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek, and Tiras.^[2]

³The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, and the Dodanim.^[3]

⁵The islands and coastlands were divided into different lands among these peoples on the basis of their languages, their ethnic groups, and their nations.

The Descendants of Ham

⁶The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim,^[4] Put, and Canaan.

⁷The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Ra’amah, and Sabteca.

The sons of Ra’amah were Sheba and Dedan.

⁸Cush became the father of Nimrod. He was the first to be a mighty warrior on the earth. ⁹He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. That is why the saying is “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” ¹⁰The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Uruk, Akkad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.^[5] ¹¹From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, ¹²and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, the great city.

¹³Mizraim^[6] became the father of the Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, ¹⁴Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines descended), and the Caphtorim.

¹⁵Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn) and Heth, ¹⁶as well as the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, ¹⁷the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, ¹⁸the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread out. ¹⁹Then the borders of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, southward toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; from there it extended eastward toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

²⁰These were the sons of Ham, according to their ethnic groups, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

The Descendants of Shem

²¹Sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth,^[7] the father of all the descendants of Eber.

²²The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

²³The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.^[8]

²⁴Arphaxad became the father of Shelah.^[9] Shelah became the father of Eber. ²⁵To Eber two sons were born. The name of one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided.^[10]

Eber’s brother’s name was Joktan. ²⁶Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, ²⁷Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, ²⁸Obal, Abimael, Sheba, ²⁹Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰Their dwelling was from Mesha all the way to Sephar, in the hill country of the east.
