010:002 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech,
and Tiras.
010:003 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
010:004 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
010:005 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands,
everyone after his language, after their families,
in their nations.
010:006 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
010:007 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca.
The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
010:008 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty
one in the earth.
010:009 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said,
"Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."
010:010 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh,
in the land of Shinar.
010:011 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built
Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
010:012 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).
010:013 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
010:014 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from),
and Caphtorim.
010:015 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,
010:016 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,
010:017 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
010:018 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite.
Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
010:019 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.
010:020 These are the sons of Ham, after their families,
after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
010:021 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder
brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
010:022 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
010:023 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
010:024 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became
the father of Eber.
010:025 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg,
for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's
name was Joktan.
010:026 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
010:027 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
010:028 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
010:029 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
010:030 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar,
the mountain of the east.
010:031 These are the sons of Shem, after their families,
after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
010:032 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations,
in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth
after the flood.
011:001 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
