Genesis 10

The Descendants of the Sons of Noah
1These are the generations#Or “family records” of the sons of Noah—Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Children#Or “sons” were born to them after the flood. 2The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5From these the coastland peoples spread out through their lands, each according to his own language by their own families, in their nations.
6And the sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. 7And the sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8And Cush fathered Nimrod. He was the first on earth to be a mighty warrior.#Literally “He began to be a mighty warrior on the earth” 9He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it was said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh.” 10Now,#Or “And” the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11From that land he went out to Assyria, and he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, 12Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13And Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came), and Caphtorim.
15Canaan fathered Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, 16and 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 were spread abroad. 19And the territory of the Canaanites was from Sidon in the direction of#Literally “in your going” Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of#Literally “in your going” Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20These are the descendants#Or “sons” (“descendants” was chosen since the proper names in this section are gentilic in form—that is, they indicate one’s place of origin—and have the definite article) of Ham, according to their families and their languages, in their lands, and in their nations.
21And to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, children were also born. 22The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. 23And the sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24And Arphaxad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber. 25And to Eber two sons were born. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan. 26And Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30And their dwelling place extended from#Literally “was from” Mesha in the direction of#Literally “in your going” Sephar to the hill country of the east. 31These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, and according to their nations.
32These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations#Or “family records” and in their nations. And from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

1Now these are the toldot of the Bnei Noach: Shem, Cham, and Yephet; and unto them were banim born after the mabbul (flood).
2The Bnei Yephet: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Yavan, and Tuval, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3And the Bnei Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphat, and Togarmah.
4And the Bnei Yavan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5By these were the coastlands of the Goyim divided in their lands; every one after his leshon, after their mishpechot, in their Goyim.
6And the Bnei Cham: Cush, and Mitzrayim, and Put, and Kena'an.
7And the Bnei Cush: Seva, and Chavilah, and Savtah, and Ra'amah, and Savtecha; and the Bnei Raamah: Sheva, and Dedan.
8And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a gibbor in ha'aretz.
9He was a gibbor, a hunter before Hashem; therefore it is said, like Nimrod the gibbor, the hunter before Hashem.
10And the beginning of his kingdom was Bavel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in Eretz Shinar.
11Out of that land he went forth to Ashur, and built Nineveh, and Rechovot-Ir, and Kelach,
12And Resen between Nineveh and Kelach; the same is haIr Hagedolah.
13And Mitzrayim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehavim, and Naphtuchim,
14And Patrusim, and Casluchim, out of whom came Pelishtim (Philistines), and Caphtorim.
15And Kena'an fathered Tzidon his bechor, and Chet,
16And the Yevusi, and the Emori, and the Girgashi,
17And the Chivi, and the Arki, and the Sini,
18And the Arvadi, and the Tzemari, and the Chamati; and afterward were the mishpechot haKena'ani spread abroad.
19And the boundary of the Kena'ani was from Tzidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Azah (Gaza); as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Amora (Gomorrah), and Admah, and Tzevoyim, even unto Lesha.
20These are the Bnei Cham, after their mishpechot, after their leshonot, in their territories, and in their Goyim.
21Also unto Shem avi kol Bnei Ever, and the older brother of Yephet, even to him were offspring born.
22The Bnei Shem: Eilam, and Ashur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
23And Bnei Aram: Utz, and Chul, and Geter, and Mash.
24And Arpachshad fathered Shelach; and Shelach fathered Ever.
25And unto Ever were born two banim: the shem of one was Peleg; for in his days was ha'aretz divided; and his brotherʼs shem was Yoktan.
26And Yoktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Chatzarmavet, and Yerach,
27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28And Oval, and Avimael, and Sheva,
29And Ophir, and Chavilah, and Yovav; all these were the Bnei Yoktan.
30And their moshav (dwelling) was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar har hakedem.
31These are the Bnei Shem, after their mishpechot, according to their leshonot, in their territories, after their Goyim.
32These are the mishpechot of the Bnei Noach, after their toldot, in their Goyim; and by these were the Goyim divided/separated in ha'aretz after the mabbul.
