Genesis 10 [Context] [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 1. |
Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. |
| 2. |
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. |
| 3. |
The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. |
| 4. |
The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
| 5. |
Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations. |
| 6. |
The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. |
| 7. |
The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. |
| 8. |
Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. |
| 9. |
He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh." |
| 10. |
The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. |
| 11. |
Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, |
| 12. |
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). |
| 13. |
Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, |
| 14. |
Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim. |
