11From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,

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

13Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites,

14Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and Caphtorites.

15Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, Heth,

16the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,

17Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,

18Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. Eventually the families of the Canaanites were scattered

19and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon all the way to Gerar as far as Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.

21And sons were also born to Shem (the older brother of Japheth), the father of all the sons of Eber.

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