Genesis 10:11-22

11From there he expanded his territory to Assyria, building the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah,

12and Resen (the great city located between Nineveh and Calah).

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

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

15Canaan’s oldest son was Sidon, the ancestor of the Sidonians. Canaan was also the ancestor of the Hittites,

16Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,

17Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,

18Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. The Canaanite clans eventually spread out,

19and the territory of Canaan extended from Sidon in the north to Gerar and Gaza in the south, and east as far as Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, near Lasha.

20These were the descendants of Ham, identified by clan, language, territory, and national identity.

21Sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth. Shem was the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber.

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