Genesis 10

The descendants of Japheth

וְאֵלֶּה תּֽוֹלְדֹת בְּנֵי-נֹחַ שֵׁם חָם וָיָפֶת וַיִּוָּֽלְדוּ לָהֶם בָּנִים אַחַר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃
1
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
בְּנֵי יֶפֶת גֹּמֶר וּמָגוֹג וּמָדַי וְיָוָן וְתֻבָל וּמֶשֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס׃
2
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
וּבְנֵי גֹּמֶר אַשְׁכֲּנַז וְרִיפַת וְתֹֽגַרְמָֽה׃
3
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
וּבְנֵי יָוָן אֱלִישָׁה וְתַרְשִׁישׁ כִּתִּים וְדֹֽדָנִֽים׃
4
And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
מֵאֵלֶּה נִפְרְדוּ אִיֵּי הַגּוֹיִם בְּאַרְצֹתָם אִישׁ לִלְשֹׁנוֹ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם בְּגֽוֹיֵהֶֽם׃
5
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

The descendants of Ham and Nimrod

וּבְנֵי חָם כּוּשׁ וּמִצְרַיִם וּפוּט וּכְנָֽעַן׃
6
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
וּבְנֵי כוּשׁ סְבָא וַֽחֲוִילָה וְסַבְתָּה וְרַעְמָה וְסַבְתְּכָא וּבְנֵי רַעְמָה שְׁבָא וּדְדָֽן׃
7
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
וְכוּשׁ יָלַד אֶת-נִמְרֹד הוּא הֵחֵל לִֽהְיוֹת גִּבֹּר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
8
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
הֽוּא-הָיָה גִבֹּֽר-צַיִד לִפְנֵי יְהוָה עַל-כֵּן יֵֽאָמַר כְּנִמְרֹד גִּבּוֹר צַיִד לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
9
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
וַתְּהִי רֵאשִׁית מַמְלַכְתּוֹ בָּבֶל וְאֶרֶךְ וְאַכַּד וְכַלְנֵה בְּאֶרֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר׃
10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
מִן-הָאָרֶץ הַהִוא יָצָא אַשּׁוּר וַיִּבֶן אֶת-נִינְוֵה וְאֶת-רְחֹבֹת עִיר וְאֶת-כָּֽלַח׃
11
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
וְֽאֶת-רֶסֶן בֵּין נִֽינְוֵה וּבֵין כָּלַח הִוא הָעִיר הַגְּדֹלָֽה׃
12
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
וּמִצְרַיִם יָלַד אֶת-לוּדִים וְאֶת-עֲנָמִים וְאֶת-לְהָבִים וְאֶת-נַפְתֻּחִֽים׃
13
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
וְֽאֶת-פַּתְרֻסִים וְאֶת-כַּסְלֻחִים אֲשֶׁר יָֽצְאוּ מִשָּׁם פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְאֶת-כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃
14
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
וּכְנַעַן יָלַד אֶת-צִידֹן בְּכֹרוֹ וְאֶת-חֵֽת׃
15
And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
וְאֶת-הַיְבוּסִי וְאֶת-הָאֱמֹרִי וְאֵת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי׃
16
And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
וְאֶת-הַֽחִוִּי וְאֶת-הַֽעַרְקִי וְאֶת-הַסִּינִֽי׃
17
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
וְאֶת-הָֽאַרְוָדִי וְאֶת-הַצְּמָרִי וְאֶת-הַֽחֲמָתִי וְאַחַר נָפֹצוּ מִשְׁפְּחוֹת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃
18
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
וַיְהִי גְּבוּל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי מִצִּידֹן בֹּֽאֲכָה גְרָרָה עַד-עַזָּה בֹּֽאֲכָה סְדֹמָה וַֽעֲמֹרָה וְאַדְמָה וּצְבֹיִם עַד-לָֽשַׁע׃
19
And 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.
אֵלֶּה בְנֵי-חָם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָם בְּאַרְצֹתָם בְּגֽוֹיֵהֶֽם׃
20
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

The descendants of Shem

וּלְשֵׁם יֻלַּד גַּם-הוּא אֲבִי כָּל-בְּנֵי-עֵבֶר אֲחִי יֶפֶת הַגָּדֽוֹל׃
21
Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
בְּנֵי שֵׁם עֵילָם וְאַשּׁוּר וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁד וְלוּד וַֽאֲרָֽם׃
22
The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
וּבְנֵי אֲרָם עוּץ וְחוּל וְגֶתֶר וָמַֽשׁ׃
23
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁד יָלַד אֶת-שָׁלַח וְשֶׁלַח יָלַד אֶת-עֵֽבֶר׃
24
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
וּלְעֵבֶר יֻלַּד שְׁנֵי בָנִים שֵׁם הָֽאֶחָד פֶּלֶג כִּי בְיָמָיו נִפְלְגָה הָאָרֶץ וְשֵׁם אָחִיו יָקְטָֽן׃
25
And 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.
וְיָקְטָן יָלַד אֶת-אַלְמוֹדָד וְאֶת-שָׁלֶף וְאֶת-חֲצַרְמָוֶת וְאֶת-יָֽרַח׃
26
And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
וְאֶת-הֲדוֹרָם וְאֶת-אוּזָל וְאֶת-דִּקְלָֽה׃
27
And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
וְאֶת-עוֹבָל וְאֶת-אֲבִֽימָאֵל וְאֶת-שְׁבָֽא׃
28
And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
וְאֶת-אוֹפִר וְאֶת-חֲוִילָה וְאֶת-יוֹבָב כָּל-אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יָקְטָֽן׃
29
And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
וַיְהִי מֽוֹשָׁבָם מִמֵּשָׁא בֹּֽאֲכָה סְפָרָה הַר הַקֶּֽדֶם׃
30
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
אֵלֶּה בְנֵי-שֵׁם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָם בְּאַרְצֹתָם לְגֽוֹיֵהֶֽם׃
31
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
אֵלֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹת בְּנֵי-נֹחַ לְתֽוֹלְדֹתָם בְּגֽוֹיֵהֶם וּמֵאֵלֶּה נִפְרְדוּ הַגּוֹיִם בָּאָרֶץ אַחַר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃
32
These 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.
