The table of nations
The Japhethites
2The sons[1] of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.3The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.4The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites and the Rodanites.[2] (1Ch 1:7)5(From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)
The Hamites
6The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan.7The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.8Cush was the father[3] of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth.9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, ‘Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.’10The first centres of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in[4] Shinar.[5]11From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir,[6] Calah12and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah – which is the great city.13Egypt was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites,14Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines came) and Caphtorites.15Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn,[7] and of the Hittites,16Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,17Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,18Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. (Later the Canaanite clans scattered19and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon towards Gerar as far as Gaza, and then towards Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, as far as Lasha.)20These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
The Semites
21Sons were also born to Shem, whose elder brother was[8] Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.22The sons of Shem: Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.23The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek.[9] (1Ch 1:17)24Arphaxad was the father of[10] Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber.25Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg,[11] because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.26Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,29Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.30(The region where they lived stretched from Mesha towards Sephar, in the eastern hill country.)31These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.32These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.
Genesis 10
English Standard Version
Nations Descended from Noah
1These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.2The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. (1Ch 1:5; Eze 38:1)3The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.4The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. (Nu 24:24; Ps 72:10; Isa 23:1; Isa 23:12; Eze 38:13; Da 11:30)5From these the coastland peoples spread in their lands, each with his own language, by their clans, in their nations. (Isa 11:11; Jer 2:10; Jer 25:22; Eze 27:6; Zep 2:11)6The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. (1Ch 1:8)7The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.8Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.[1]9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. (Ge 11:2; Ge 11:9)11From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and12Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.13Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, (1Ch 1:11)14Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom[2] the Philistines came), and Caphtorim. (De 2:23; Jer 47:4; Am 9:7)15Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth, (Ge 15:18)16and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites dispersed.19And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.20These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.21To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.22The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. (1Ch 1:17)23The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.24Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. (Ge 11:12; Lu 3:35)25To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg,[3] for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan. (1Ch 1:19)26Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. (1Ki 9:28; 1Ki 10:11)30The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.31These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.32These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood. (Ge 9:19; Ge 10:1)
