Canaan, and a servant, of all servants be he to his brethren. And he
said: Blessed be the LORD God of Sem, and Canaan be his servant. God
increase Iapheth that he may dwell in the tents of Sem. And Canaan be
their servant. And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years: So that all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years,
and then he died.
Chapter .x.
These are the generations of the sons of Noe: of Sem, Ham and Iapheth,
which begat them children after the flood. The sons of Iapheth were:
Gomir, Magog, Madai, Iavan, Tuball, Mesech and Thyras. And the sons of
Gomir were: Ascenas, Riphat and Togarma. And the sons of Iavan were:
Elisa, Tharsis, Cithim, and Dodanim. Of these came the Isles of the
gentiles in their countries, every man in his speech, kindred and
nation. The sons of Ham were: Chus, Misraim, Phut and Canaan. The sons
of Chus: were Seba, Hevila, Sabta, Raima and Sabtema. And the sons of
Raima were: Sheba, and Dedan. Chus also begot Nimrod, which began to be
mighty in the earth. He was a mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD:
Whereof came the proverb: he is as Nimrod that mighty hunter in the
sight of the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babell, Erech,
Achad, and Chalne in the land of Sinear: Out of that land came Assur
and builded Ninive, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, and Ressen
between Nineve and Calah. That is a great city. And Mizrim begat Ludim,
Enanim, Leabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim and Casluhim: from whence came the
Philistins, and the Caphtherines. Canaan also begat Zidon his eldest
son and Heth, Iebusi, Emori, Girgosi, Hivi, Arki, Sini, Arvadi, Zemari
and Harmati. And afterward sprang the kindreds of the Cananites. And
the coasts of the Cananites were from Sidon till thou come to Gerara
and to Asa, and till thou come to Sodoma, Gomorra, Adama, Zeboim: even
unto Lasa. These were the children of Ham in their kindreds, tongues,
lands and nations. And Sem the father of all the children of Eber and
the eldest brother of Iapheth, begat children also. And his sons were:
Elam Assur, Arphachsad, Lud and Aram. And the children of Aram were:
Ur, Hul, Gether and Mas. And Arphachsad begat Sala, and Sala begat
Eber. And Eber begat two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in
his time the earth was divided. And the name of his brother was
Iaketan. Iaketan begat Almodad, Saleph, Hizarmoneth, Iarah, Hadoram,
Usal, Dikela, Obal, Abimael, Seba, Ophir, Hevila and Iobab. All these
are the sons of Iaketan. And the dwelling of them was from Mesa until
thou come unto Sephara a mountain of the east land. These are the sons
of Sem in their kindreds, languages, countries and nations. These are
the kindreds of the sons of Noe, in their generations and nations. And
of these came the people that were in the world after the flood.
