New Testament

Genesis 10:9-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: 'Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.'

10. And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar.

11. From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah,

12. and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city.

13. And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

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

15. Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite,

16. and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17. the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite,

18. and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread.

19. And the borders of Chanaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa.

20. These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
