Genesis 10

Nations Descended from Noah

1These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

2 # For ver. 1-5, see 1 Chr. 1:5-7; Ezek. 38:1-6 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4The sons of Javan: Elishah, #Ps. 72:10; Ezek. 38:13 Tarshish, #Num. 24:24; Isa. 23:1, 12; Dan. 11:30Kittim, and Dodanim. 5From these #Isa. 11:11; Jer. 2:10; 25:22; Ezek. 27:6; Zeph. 2:11the coastland peoples spread in their lands, each with his own language, by their clans, in their nations.

6 # For ver. 6-8, see 1 Chr. 1:8-10 The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. 7The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.#10:8 Or he began to be a mighty man on the earth 9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10The beginning of his kingdom was #ch. 11:9 Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in #ch. 11:2the land of Shinar. 11From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and 12Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13#For ver. 13-18, see 1 Chr. 1:11-16Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom#10:14 Or from where the Philistines came), and #Deut. 2:23; Jer. 47:4; Amos 9:7Caphtorim.

15 # [ch. 15:18-21] Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth, 16and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites dispersed. 19And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

21To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born. 22The #For ver. 22-29, see 1 Chr. 1:17-25sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24Arpachshad fathered #ch. 11:12; Luke 3:35, 36Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 25#1 Chr. 1:19To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg,#10:25 Peleg means division for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29#1 Kgs. 9:28; 10:11Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east. 31These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

32These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, #ver. 1; ch. 9:19and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

Bereshis 10

1Now these are the toldot of the Bnei Noach: Shem, Cham, and Yephet; and unto them were banim born after the mabbul (flood).

2The Bnei Yephet: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Yavan, and Tuval, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3And the Bnei Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphat, and Togarmah.

4And the Bnei Yavan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5By these were the coastlands of the Goyim divided in their lands; every one after his leshon, after their mishpechot, in their Goyim.

6And the Bnei Cham: Cush, and Mitzrayim, and Put, and Kena'an.

7And the Bnei Cush: Seva, and Chavilah, and Savtah, and Ra'amah, and Savtecha; and the Bnei Raamah: Sheva, and Dedan.

8And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a gibbor in ha'aretz.

9He was a gibbor, a hunter before Hashem; therefore it is said, like Nimrod the gibbor, the hunter before Hashem.

10And the beginning of his kingdom was Bavel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in Eretz Shinar.

11Out of that land he went forth to Ashur, and built Nineveh, and Rechovot-Ir, and Kelach,

12And Resen between Nineveh and Kelach; the same is haIr Hagedolah.

13And Mitzrayim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehavim, and Naphtuchim,

14And Patrusim, and Casluchim, out of whom came Pelishtim (Philistines), and Caphtorim.

15And Kena'an fathered Tzidon his bechor, and Chet,

16And the Yevusi, and the Emori, and the Girgashi,

17And the Chivi, and the Arki, and the Sini,

18And the Arvadi, and the Tzemari, and the Chamati; and afterward were the mishpechot haKena'ani spread abroad.

19And the boundary of the Kena'ani was from Tzidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Azah (Gaza); as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Amora (Gomorrah), and Admah, and Tzevoyim, even unto Lesha.

20These are the Bnei Cham, after their mishpechot, after their leshonot, in their territories, and in their Goyim.

21Also unto Shem avi kol Bnei Ever, and the older brother of Yephet, even to him were offspring born.

22The Bnei Shem: Eilam, and Ashur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.

23And Bnei Aram: Utz, and Chul, and Geter, and Mash.

24And Arpachshad fathered Shelach; and Shelach fathered Ever.

25And unto Ever were born two banim: the shem of one was Peleg; for in his days was ha'aretz divided; and his brotherʼs shem was Yoktan.

26And Yoktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Chatzarmavet, and Yerach,

27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28And Oval, and Avimael, and Sheva,

29And Ophir, and Chavilah, and Yovav; all these were the Bnei Yoktan.

30And their moshav (dwelling) was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar har hakedem.

31These are the Bnei Shem, after their mishpechot, according to their leshonot, in their territories, after their Goyim.

32These are the mishpechot of the Bnei Noach, after their toldot, in their Goyim; and by these were the Goyim divided/separated in ha'aretz after the mabbul.
