1Now this is the account about the development of the groups of people who descended from Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah. Sons were born to them after the flood.[#10:1 In these tables, in some cases includes descendants. Fathers in some cases means ancestors or forefathers.]
2The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek, and Tiras.[#10:2 Some of these names are the names both of ancestral individuals and of ethnic groups that were derived from them. Some of the names also serve as names of geographic places.]
5The islands and coastlands were divided into different lands among these peoples on the basis of their languages, their ethnic groups, and their nations.
6The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.[#10:6 is the Hebrew name for Egypt.]
8Cush became the father of Nimrod. He was the first to be a mighty warrior on the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord . That is why the saying is “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord .”
10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Uruk, Akkad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.[#10:10 That is, Babylon]
11From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, the great city.
13Mizraim became the father of the Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,[#10:13 is the Hebrew name for Egypt.]
14Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines descended), and the Caphtorim.
15Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn) and Heth,
16as well as the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread out.
19Then the borders of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, southward toward Gerar as far as Gaza; from there it extended eastward toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20These were the sons of Ham, according to their ethnic groups, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
21Sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of all the descendants of Eber.[#10:21 Or whose older brother was Japheth , but this translation does not fit the Hebrew construction as well as the translation above does.]
22The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
31These were the descendants of Shem according to their ethnic groups, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
32These are the families and groups of peoples descended from the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations. From these, nations spread out over the earth after the flood.
