Chapter 10
Gene JPS 10:1  Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Gene JPS 10:2  The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Gene JPS 10:3  And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gene JPS 10:4  And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Gene JPS 10:5  Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Gene JPS 10:6  And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
Gene JPS 10:7  And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.
Gene JPS 10:8  And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Gene JPS 10:9  He was a mighty hunter before HaShem; wherefore it is said: 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before HaShem.'
Gene JPS 10:10  And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Gene JPS 10:11  Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,
Gene JPS 10:12  and Resen between Nineveh and Calah--the same is the great city.
Gene JPS 10:13  And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
Gene JPS 10:14  and Pathrusim, and Casluhim--whence went forth the Philistines--and Caphtorim.
Gene JPS 10:15  And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn, and Heth;
Gene JPS 10:16  and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
Gene JPS 10:17  and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite;
Gene JPS 10:18  and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.
Gene JPS 10:19  And the border of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha.
Gene JPS 10:20  These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
Gene JPS 10:21  And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
Gene JPS 10:22  The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Gene JPS 10:23  And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Gene JPS 10:24  And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.
Gene JPS 10:25  And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Gene JPS 10:26  And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
Gene JPS 10:29  and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
Gene JPS 10:30  And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, unto the mountain of the east.
Gene JPS 10:31  These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Gene JPS 10:32  These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
