Descendants of Noah

Gen 10:1

Now these are the records of the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

Gen 10:2

The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

Gen 10:3The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, [fn]Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gen 10:4The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and [fn]Dodanim.
Gen 10:5From these the people of the coastlands of the nations [fn]were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
Gen 10:6

The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

Gen 10:7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
Gen 10:8Now Cush fathered Nimrod; he [fn]became a mighty one on the earth.
Gen 10:9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
Gen 10:10And the beginning of his kingdom was [fn]Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Gen 10:11From that land he went to Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
Gen 10:12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
Gen 10:13Mizraim fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
Gen 10:14Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines), and Caphtorim.
Gen 10:15

Canaan fathered Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,

Gen 10:16the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,
Gen 10:17the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
Gen 10:18the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.
Gen 10:19The territory of the Canaanite [fn]extended from Sidon [fn]going toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; and [fn]going toward Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
Gen 10:20These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.
Gen 10:21

Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born.

Gen 10:22The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
Gen 10:23The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Gen 10:24Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber.
Gen 10:25Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was [fn]Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
Gen 10:26Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
Gen 10:27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
Gen 10:28[fn]Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
Gen 10:29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all of these were the sons of Joktan.
Gen 10:30Now their [fn]settlement [fn]extended from Mesha [fn]going toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
Gen 10:31These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and according to their nations.
Gen 10:32

These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
