Genesis 10:1-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

Descendants of Noah

10 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 (A)The sons of Japheth were ^(B)Gomer and Magog and ^(C)Madai and ^(D)Javan and Tubal and ^(E)Meshech and Tiras. ³ The sons of Gomer were ^(F)Ashkenaz and ^[a]Riphath and ^(G)Togarmah. ⁴ The sons of Javan were Elishah and ^(H)Tarshish, Kittim and ^[b]Dodanim. ⁵ From these the coastlands of the nations ^[c]were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

^6 (I)The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan. ⁷ The sons of Cush were ^(J)Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and ^(K)Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were ^(L)Sheba and ^(M)Dedan. ⁸ Now Cush ^[d]became the father of Nimrod; he ^[e]became 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 ^[f](N)Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of ^(O)Shinar.
