NASB Bible

Genesis 10

Descendants of Noah

1

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

2

 aThe sons of Japheth were  bGomer and Magog and  cMadai and  dJavan and Tubal and  eMeshech and Tiras.

3

The sons of Gomer were  aAshkenaz and  1Riphath and  bTogarmah.

4

The sons of Javan were Elishah and  aTarshish, Kittim and  1Dodanim.

5

From these the coastlands of the nations  1were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

6

 aThe sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

7

The sons of Cush were  aSeba and Havilah and Sabtah and  bRaamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were  bSheba and  cDedan.

8

Now Cush  1became the father of Nimrod; he  2became a mighty one on the earth.

9

He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."

10

The beginning of his kingdom was  1 aBabel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of  bShinar.

11

From that land he went forth  ainto Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,

12

and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.

13

Mizraim  1became the father of  aLudim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim

14

and  aPathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

15

Canaan  1became the father of  aSidon, his firstborn, and  bHeth

16

and  athe Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite

17

and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite

18

and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.

19

 aThe territory of the Canaanite  1extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward  bSodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20

These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.

21

Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the  1older brother of Japheth, children were born.

22

 aThe sons of Shem were  bElam and Asshur and  cArpachshad and  dLud and Aram.

23

The sons of Aram were  aUz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

24

Arpachshad  1became the father of  aShelah; and Shelah  1became the father of Eber.

25

 aTwo sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was  1Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

26

Joktan  1became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

27

and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

28

and  1Obal and Abimael and Sheba

29

and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

30

Now their  1settlement  2extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.

31

These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.

32

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