Genesis 10
1 Now these
are the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham,
Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth, Gamer, and
Magog, and Madoi, and Jovan, and Elisa, and Thobel, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
3 And the sons of Gamer, Aschanaz, and
Riphath, and Thorgama. 4 And the sons
of Jovan, Elisa, and Tharseis, Cetians, Rhodians.
5 From these were the islands of the
Gentiles divided in their land, each according to his tongue, in their tribes
and in their nations.
6 And the sons of Cham, Chus, and
Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan. 7 And the
sons of Chus, Saba, and Evila, and Sabatha, and Rhegma, and Sabathaca. And the
sons of Rhegma, Saba, and Dadan. 8 And
Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
9 He was a giant hunter before the
Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom
was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.
11 Out of that land came Assur, and
built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach,
12 and Dase between Ninevi and
Chalach: this is the great city.
13 And Mesrain begot the Ludiim, and
the Nephthalim, and the Enemetiim, and the Labiim,
14 and the Patrosoniim, and the
Chasmoniim (whence came forth Phylistiim) and the Gaphthoriim.
15 And Chanaan begot Sidon his
first-born, and the Chettite, 16 and
the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
17 and the Evite, and the Arukite,
and the Asennite, 18 and the Aradian,
and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the
Chananites were dispersed. 19 And the
boundaries of the Chananites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerara and
Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, as far as Dasa.
20 These
were the sons of Cham in their tribes according to
their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21 And to Sem himself also were
children born, the father of all the sons of Heber, the brother of Japheth the
elder. 22 Sons of Sem, Elam, and
Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Cainan.
23 And sons of Aram, Uz, and Ul, and
Gater, and Mosoch. 24 And Arphaxad
begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala. And Sala begot Heber.
25 And to Heber were born two sons,
the name of the one, Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and
the name of his brother Jektan.
26 And Jektan begot Elmodad, and
Saleth, and Sarmoth, and Jarach,
27 and Odorrha, and Aibel, and Decla,
28 and Eval, and Abimael, and Saba,
29 and Uphir, and Evila, and Jobab,
all these were the sons of Jektan.
30 And their dwelling was from Masse,
till one comes to Saphera, a mountain of the east.
31 These were the sons of Sem in
their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their
nations. 32 These are the tribes of
the sons of Noe, according to their generations, according to their nations:
of them were
aOr simply, Gentiles.the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.
