Genesis 10:9-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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 Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11. From that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,

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

13. Mizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim

14. and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

15. Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth

16. and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite

17. and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite

18. and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.

19. The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

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

21. Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born.

22. The sons of Shem were Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

23. The sons of Aram were Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

24. Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

25. Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

26. Joktan became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah
