1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah , namely , of Shem , Ham , and Japheth : and unto them were sons born after the flood . 2The sons of Japheth : Gomer , and Magog , and Madai , and Javan , and Tubal , and Meshech , and Tiras . 3And the sons of Gomer : Ashkenaz, and Riphath , and Togarmah . 4And the sons of Javan : Elishah, and Tarshish , Kittim , and Dodanim . 5Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue , after their families , in their nations .
The Descendants of Ham
6And the sons of Ham : Cush , and Mizraim , and Put , and Canaan . 7And the sons of Cush : Seba , and Havilah , and Sabtah , and Raamah , and Sabteca ; and the sons of Raamah : Sheba , and Dedan . 8And Cush begat Nimrod : he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah : wherefore it is said , Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah . 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh , in the land of Shinar . 11Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh , and Rehoboth-Ir , and Calah , 12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah ( the same is the great city ). 13And Mizraim begat Ludim , and Anamim , and Lehabim , and Naphtuhim , 14and Pathrusim , and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines ), and Caphtorim . 15And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth , 16and the Jebusite , and the Amorite, and the Girgashite , 17and the Hivite , and the Arkite , and the Sinite , 18and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite , and the Hamathite : and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad . 19And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon , as thou goest toward Gerar , unto Gaza ; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim , unto Lasha . 20These are the sons of Ham , after their families , after their tongues , in their lands, in their nations .
