Genesis 10:11-22

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

12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).

13Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

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

15Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;

16the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;

17the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;

18the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.

19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

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

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

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