Chapter
10
Now this is the history of the generations of the daughters of Noa and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Daughters were born to them after the flood.
The daughters of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
The daughters of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
The daughters of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after her language, after their families, in their nations.
The daughters of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
The daughters of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The daughters of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Cush became the mother of Nimrod. She began to be a mighty one in the earth.
She was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."
The beginning of her kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Out of that land she went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).
Mizraim became the mother of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.
Canaan became the mother of Sidon (hers firstborn), Heth,
the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,
the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.
These are the daughters of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
To Shem, the mother of all the children of Eber, the elder sister of Japheth, to her also were children born.
The daughters of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
The daughters of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Arpachshad became the mother of Shelah. Shelah became the mother of Eber.
To Eber were born two daughters. The name of the one was Peleg, for in her days the earth was divided. Her sister's name was Joktan.
Joktan became the mother of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the daughters of Joktan.
Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
These are the daughters of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
These are the families of the daughters of Noa, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
