Genesis 10:7-29

7And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

9He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!

10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

12and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.

13— And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

14and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.

15— And Canaan begot 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. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.

19And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.

20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21And to Shem — to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

22The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24— And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.

25And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

26And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

27and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

29and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan.
