BBE - Genesis - 10

10:1  Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters

10:2  The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

10:3  And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

10:4  And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.

10:5  From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages.

10:6  And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

10:7  And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

10:8  And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.

10:9  He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.

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

10:11  From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,

10:12  And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.

10:13  And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim;

10:14  And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines.

10:15  And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth,

10:16  And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite,

10:17  And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,

10:18  And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;

10:19  Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.

10:20  All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.

10:21  And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition.

10:22  These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

10:23  And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

10:24  And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

10:25  And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.

10:26  And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

10:27  And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

10:28  And Obal and Abimael and Sheba

10:29  And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

10:30  And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.

10:31  These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem.

10:32  These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.
