Chapter 10 - Generations of Sons of Noah

By Mother of Ham

[1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

[2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

[3] And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

[4] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

[5] By these were the isles (of the Gentiles) divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

[6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

[7] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

[8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

[10] And the beginning (of his kingdom) was Babel1, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

[11] Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

[12] And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

[13] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

[14] And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

[15] And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

[16] And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

[17] And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

[18] And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

[19] And the border (of the Canaanites) was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

[20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

[21] Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

[23] And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

[24] And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

[25] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; (for in his days was the earth divided); and his brother's name was Joktan.

[26] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,

[27] And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

[28] And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

[29] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.

[30] And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

[31] These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
