Genesis 10:5-20

5From theseH428 the coastlandsH339 of the nationsH1471 1were separatedH6504 into their landsH776, everyH376 oneH376 according to his languageH3956, according to their familiesH4940, into their nationsH1471.

62The sonsH1121 of HamH2526 were CushH3568 and MizraimH4714 and PutH6316 and CanaanH3667. 7The sonsH1121 of CushH3568 were 3SebaH5434 and HavilahH2341 and SabtahH5454 and 4RaamahH7484 and SabtecaH5455; and the sonsH1121 of RaamahH7484 were 5ShebaH7614 and 6DedanH1719. 8Now CushH3568 7becameH3205 the fatherH3205 of NimrodH5248; he 8becameH2490H1961 a mightyH1368 oneH1368 on the earthH776. 9He was a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; thereforeH5921H3651 it is saidH559, “Like NimrodH5248 a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LordH3068.” 10The beginningH7225 of his kingdomH4467 was 910BabelH894 and ErechH751 and AccadH390 and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of 11ShinarH8152. 11From that landH776 he wentH3318 forthH3318 12into AssyriaH804, and builtH1129 NinevehH5210 and Rehoboth-IrH7344 and CalahH3625, 12and ResenH7449 betweenH996 NinevehH5210 and CalahH3625; that is the greatH1419 cityH5892. 13MizraimH4714 13becameH3205 the fatherH3205 of 14LudimH3866 and AnamimH6047 and LehabimH3853 and NaphtuhimH5320 14and 15PathrusimH6625 and CasluhimH3695 (from whichH834 cameH3318 the PhilistinesH6430) and CaphtorimH3732.

15CanaanH3667 16becameH3205 the fatherH3205 of 17SidonH6721, his firstbornH1060, and 18HethH2845 16and 19the 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 afterwardH310 the familiesH4940 of the CanaaniteH3669 were spreadH6327 abroad. 1920The territoryH1366 of the CanaaniteH3669 21extendedH1961 from SidonH6721 as you goH935 toward GerarH1642, as farH5704 as GazaH5804; as you goH935 toward 22SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and AdmahH126 and ZeboiimH6636, as farH5704 as LashaH3962. 20TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of HamH2526, according to their familiesH4940, according to their languagesH3956, by their landsH776, by their nationsH1471.
