    GENESIS 10

    The Table of Nations

    1This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after

    the flood.
    The Japhethites

    2The sons of Japheth:

    Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.

    3The sons of Gomer:

    Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.

    4The sons of Javan:

    Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites and the Rodanites. 5(From these the maritime peoples spread out

    into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)
    The Hamites

    6The sons of Ham:

    Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan.

    7The sons of Cush:

    Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka.

    The sons of Raamah:

    Sheba and Dedan.

    8Cush was the father of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9He was a mighty

    hunter before the LORD; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before

    the LORD.” 10The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh,

    in Shinar. 11From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth

    Ir, Calah 12and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.

    13Egypt was the father of


    the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the

    Philistines came) and Caphtorites.

    15Canaan was the father of

    Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, 16Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 17Hivites, Arkites,

    Sinites, 18Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites.

    Later the Canaanite clans scattered 19and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward

    Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, as far as Lasha.

    20These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

    The Semites

    21Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of

    all the sons of Eber.

    22The sons of Shem:

    Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.

    23The sons of Aram:

    Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek.

    24Arphaxad was the father of Shelah,

    and Shelah the father of Eber.

    25Two sons were born to Eber:

    One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.

    26Joktan was the father of

    Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael,

    Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

    30The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.

    31These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

    32These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations.

    From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.
