The Book of Genesis, Chapter 10בראשית 10

וְאֵ֨לֶּה֙ תּוֹלְדֹ֣ת בְּנֵי נֹ֔חַ שֵׁ֖ם חָ֣ם וָיָ֑פֶת וַיִּוָּלְד֥וּ לָהֶ֛ם בָּנִ֖ים אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

בְּנֵ֣י יֶ֔פֶת גֹּ֣מֶר וּמָג֔וֹג וּמָדַ֖י וְיָוָ֣ן וְתֻבָ֑ל וּמֶ֖שֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס

The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

וּבְנֵ֖י גֹּ֑מֶר אַשְׁכֲּנַ֥ז וְרִיפַ֖ת וְתֹגַרְמָֽה

And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

וּבְנֵ֥י יָוָ֖ן אֱלִישָׁ֣ה וְתַרְשִׁ֑ישׁ כִּתִּ֖ים וְדֹדָנִֽים

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

מֵ֠אֵלֶּה נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַגּוֹיִם֙ בְּאַרְצֹתָ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לִלְשֹׁנ֑וֹ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם

From these the coastlands of the nations were separated in their lands, each according to his language, according to their families, in their nations.

וּבְנֵ֖י חָ֑ם כּ֥וּשׁ וּמִצְרַ֖יִם וּפ֥וּט וּכְנָֽעַן

And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

וּבְנֵ֣י כ֔וּשׁ סְבָא֙ וַֽחֲוִילָ֔ה וְסַבְתָּ֥ה וְרַעְמָ֖ה וְסַבְתְּכָ֑א וּבְנֵ֥י רַעְמָ֖ה שְׁבָ֥א וּדְדָֽן

And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

וְכ֖וּשׁ יָלַ֣ד אֶת נִמְרֹ֑ד ה֣וּא הֵחֵ֔ל לִֽהְי֥וֹת גִּבֹּ֖ר בָּאָֽרֶץ

And Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first to become a mighty man in the earth.

הֽוּא הָיָ֥ה גִבֹּֽר צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה עַל כֵּן֙ יֵֽאָמַ֔ר כְּנִמְרֹ֛ד גִּבּ֥וֹר צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, 'Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.'

וַתְּהִ֨י רֵאשִׁ֤ית מַמְלַכְתּוֹ֙ בָּבֶ֔ל וְאֶ֖רֶךְ וְאַכַּ֣ד וְכַלְנֵ֑ה בְּאֶ֖רֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר

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

מִן הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא יָצָ֣א אַשּׁ֑וּר וַיִּ֨בֶן֙ אֶת נִ֣ינְוֵ֔ה וְאֶת רְחֹבֹ֥ת עִ֖יר וְאֶת כָּֽלַח

From that land Asshur went out and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

וְֽאֶת רֶ֔סֶן בֵּ֥ין נִֽינְוֵ֖ה וּבֵ֣ין כָּ֑לַח הִ֖וא הָעִ֥יר הַגְּדֹלָֽה

and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.

וּמִצְרַ֡יִם יָלַ֞ד אֶת לוּדִ֧ים וְאֶת עֲנָמִ֛ים וְאֶת לְהָבִ֖ים וְאֶת נַפְתֻּחִֽים

And Mizraim fathered the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

וְֽאֶת פַּתְרֻסִ֞ים וְאֶת כַּסְלֻחִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָצְא֥וּ מִשָּׁ֛ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וְאֶת כַּפְתֹּרִֽים

and the Pathrusim, the Casluhim, from whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.

וּכְנַ֗עַן יָלַ֛ד אֶת צִידֹ֥ן בְּכֹר֖וֹ וְאֶת חֵֽת

And Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

וְאֶת הַיְבוּסִי֙ וְאֶת הָ֣אֱמֹרִ֔י וְאֵ֖ת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי

and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

וְאֶת הַֽחִוִּ֥י וְאֶת הַֽעַרְקִ֖י וְאֶת הַסִּינִֽי

and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,

וְאֶת הָֽאַרְוָדִ֥י וְאֶת הַצְּמָרִ֖י וְאֶת הַֽחֲמָתִ֑י וְאַחַ֣ר נָפֹ֔צוּ מִשְׁפְּח֖וֹת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי

and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were scattered.

וַֽיְהִ֞י גְּב֤וּל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ מִצִּידֹ֔ן בֹּאֲכָ֥ה גְרָ֖רָה עַד עַזָּ֑ה בֹּאֲכָ֞ה סְדֹ֧מָה וַעֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאַדְמָ֥ה וּצְבֹיִ֖ם עַד לָֽשַׁע

And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as one goes toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי חָ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם

These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

וּלְשֵׁ֥ם יֻלַּ֖ד גַּם ה֑וּא אֲבִי֙ כָּל בְּנֵי עֵ֔בֶר אֲחִ֖י יֶ֥פֶת הַגָּדֽוֹל

And to Shem also, the father of all the sons of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.

בְּנֵ֥י שֵׁ֖ם עֵילָ֣ם וְאַשּׁ֑וּר וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד וְל֥וּד וַֽאֲרָֽם

The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

וּבְנֵ֖י אֲרָ֑ם ע֥וּץ וְח֖וּל וְגֶ֥תֶר וָמַֽשׁ

And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד יָלַ֣ד אֶת שָׁ֑לַח וְשֶׁ֖לַח יָלַ֥ד אֶת עֵֽבֶר

And Arpachshad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.

וּלְעֵ֥בֶר יֻלַּ֖ד שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֑ים שֵׁ֣ם הָֽאֶחָ֞ד פֶּ֗לֶג כִּ֤י בְיָמָיו֙ נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יָקְטָֽן

And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.

וְיָקְטָ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת אַלְמוֹדָ֖ד וְאֶת שָׁ֑לֶף וְאֶת חֲצַרְמָ֖וֶת וְאֶת יָֽרַח

And Joktan begot Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah,

וְאֶת הֲדוֹרָ֥ם וְאֶת אוּזָ֖ל וְאֶת דִּקְלָֽה

and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah,

וְאֶת עוֹבָ֥ל וְאֶת אֲבִֽימָאֵ֖ל וְאֶת שְׁבָֽא

and Obal and Abimael and Sheba,

וְאֶת אוֹפִ֥ר וְאֶת חֲוִילָ֖ה וְאֶת יוֹבָ֑ב כָּל אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י יָקְטָֽן

and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

וַֽיְהִ֥י מוֹשָׁבָ֖ם מִמֵּשָׁ֑א בֹּאֲכָ֥ה סְפָ֖רָה הַ֥ר הַקֶּֽדֶם

And their dwelling was from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.

אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי שֵׁ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם לְגוֹיֵהֶֽם

These were the sons of Shem, by their clans, by their languages, in their lands, by their nations.

אֵ֣לֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֧ת בְּנֵי נֹ֛חַ לְתוֹלְדֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶ֑ם וּמֵאֵ֜לֶּה נִפְרְד֧וּ הַגּוֹיִ֛ם בָּאָ֖רֶץ אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל

These were the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, by their nations; and from these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
