Chapter 10

1These are the lines of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noach: sons were born to them after the Flood.

2The descendants of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Media, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3The descendants of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

5From these the maritime nations branched out. [These are the descendants of Japheth] by their lands—each with its language—their clans and their nations.

6The descendants of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8Cush also begot Nimrod, who was the first man of might on earth.

9He was a mighty hunter by the grace of Hashem; hence the saying, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter by the grace of Hashem.”

10The mainstays of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.

11From that land Assyria went forth and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah,

19The [original] Canaanite territory extended from Tzidon as far as Gerar, near Azza, and as far as Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, near Lasha.

20These are the descendants of Ham, according to their clans and languages, by their lands and nations.

25Two sons were born to Ever: the name of the first was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan.
