Genesis 10:11-22

11From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and

12Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.

13Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

14Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came), and Caphtorim.

15Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth,

16and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites dispersed.

19And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

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

21To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.

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