Genesis 10:6-20 ▼

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

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

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before God. Therefore it is said, |Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before God.|

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth Ir, and Calah,

12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.

13 And Mizraim became the father of Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, which the Philistines descended from, and Caphtorim.

15 And Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,

16 and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, and the Girgashites,

17 and the Hivites, and the Arkites, and the Sinites,

18 and the Arvadites, and the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
