Genesis 10:7-29

7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

8Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”

10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

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.

23The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.

25To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

26Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
