CHAP. X.

1 The generations of Noah. 2 The sonnes of Iaphet. 6 The sonnes of Ham. 8 Nimrod the first Monarch. 21 The sonnes of Shem.

¹Now these are the generations of the sonnes of Noah; Shem, Ham, and Iaphet: and vnto them were sonnes borne after the Flood.

²The sonnes of Iaphet: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, & Tubal, and Meshech, & Tiras.²

³And the sonnes of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴And the sons of Iauan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵By these were the Iles of the Gentiles diuided in their lands, euery one after his tongue: after their families, in their nations.

⁶¶ And the sonnes of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.⁶

⁷And the sonnes of Cush, Seba, and Hauilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sonnes 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 the LORD: wherefore it is saide, Euen as Nimrod the mightie hunter before the LORD.

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

¹¹Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineueh, and the citie Rehoboth, and Calah,¹¹

¹²And Resen betweene Nineueh and Calah: the same is a great citie.

¹³And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

¹⁴And Pathrusim, and Casluhim (out of whome came Philistiim) and Caphtorim.

¹⁵¶ And Canaan begate Sidon his first borne, and Heth,¹⁵

¹⁶And the Iebusite, and the Emorite, and the Girgasite,

¹⁷And the Hiuite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

¹⁸And the Aruadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

¹⁹And the border of the Canaanites, was from Sidon, as thou commest to Gerar, vnto Gaza, as thou goest vnto Sodoma and Gomorah, and Admah, & Zeboim, euen vnto Lasha.¹⁹

²⁰These are the sonnes of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

²¹¶ Unto Shem also the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Iaphet the elder, euen to him were children borne.

²²The children of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.²²

²³And the children of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

²⁴And Arphaxad begate Salah, and Salah begate Eber.²⁴

²⁵And vnto Eber were borne two sonnes: the name of one was Peleg, for in his dayes was the earth diuided, and his brothers name was Ioktan.²⁵

²⁶And Ioktan begate Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaueth, and Ierah,

²⁷And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

²⁸And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

²⁹And Ophir, and Hauilah, & Iobab: all these were the sonnes of Ioktan.

³⁰And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest vnto Sephar, a mount of the East.

³¹These are the sonnes of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands after their nations.

³²These are the families of the sonnes of Noah after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations diuided in the earth after the Flood.
