King James Bible study Chapter 10

^10:1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. ^10:2The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ^10:3And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ^10:4And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ^10:5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

^10:6And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. ^10:7And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. ^10:8And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. ^10:9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. ^10:10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ^10:11Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, ^10:12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. ^10:13And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ^10:14And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

^10:15And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, ^10:16And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, ^10:17And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ^10:18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. ^10:19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. ^10:20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

^10:21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. ^10:22The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ^10:23And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ^10:24And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. ^10:25And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. ^10:26And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah, ^10:27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ^10:28And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ^10:29And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. ^10:30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. ^10:31These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. ^10:32These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
