Genesis 10:2-20

2The sonsH1121 of JaphethH3315: GomerH1586, and MagogH4031, and MadaiH4074, and JavanH3120, and TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, and TirasH8494.

3And the sonsH1121 of GomerH1586: AshkenazH813, and Riphath, and TogarmahH8425.

4And the sonsH1121 of JavanH3120: ElishahH473, and TarshishH8659, KittimH3794, and Dodanim.

5From these came the distribution of the isles of the nationsH1471, according to their landsH776, every oneH376 after his tongueH3956, after their familiesH4940, in their nationsH1471.

6And the sonsH1121 of HamH2526: CushH3568, and Mizraim, and Phut, and CanaanH3667.

7And the sonsH1121 of CushH3568: SebaH5434, and HavilahH2341, and Sabtah, and RaamahH7484, and Sabtecha. And the sonsH1121 of RaamahH7484: ShebaH7614 and DedanH1719.

8And CushH3568 begot NimrodH5248: he beganH2490 to beH1961 mightyH1368 on the earthH776.

9He wasH1961 a mightyH1368 hunter before Jehovah; thereforeH3651 it is saidH559, As NimrodH5248, the mightyH1368 hunter before Jehovah!

10And the beginning of his kingdomH4467 wasH1961 Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of ShinarH8152.

11From that landH776 wentH3318 out AsshurH804, and builtH1129 NinevehH5210, and Rehoboth-Ir, and CalahH3625,

12and Resen, between NinevehH5210 and CalahH3625: this is the greatH1419 cityH5892.

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

14and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom cameH3318 the PhilistinesH6430, and the Caphtorim.

15— And CanaanH3667 begot SidonH6721, his firstbornH1060, and HethH2845,

16and the JebusiteH2983, and the AmoriteH567, and the GirgashiteH1622,

17and the HiviteH2340, and the ArkiteH6208, and the SiniteH5513,

18and the ArvaditeH721, and the ZemariteH6786, and the HamathiteH2577. And afterwards the familiesH4940 of the CanaanitesH3669 spread themselves abroad.

19And the borderH1366 of the CanaaniteH3669 wasH1961 from SidonH6721, as one goesH935 to GerarH1642, up to Gazah; as one goesH935 to SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, and AdmahH126, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.

20These are the sonsH1121 of HamH2526, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their landsH776, in their nationsH1471.
