Genesis 10:5-20

5From these, [the people of] the coastlands of the nations were separated and spread into their lands, every one according to his own language, according to their constituent groups (families), and into their nations:

6the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim [from whom descended the Egyptians], Put, and Canaan;

7the sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah; Sheba and Dedan.

8Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.

9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”

10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar [in Babylonia].

11From that land Nimrod went to Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

12and [Nimrod built] Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; all these [combined to form] the great city [Nineveh].

13Mizraim [the ancestor of the Egyptians] became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim

14and Pathrusim and Casluhim—from whom came the Philistines—and Caphtorim.

15Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth

16and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite

17and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite

18and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.

19The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as one goes to Gerar, as far as Gaza; and as one goes to Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20These are the descendants of Ham according to their constituent groups, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.
