Genesis 10:1 to 10:32

1 And these are the generations of the sons of Rest: Name, Warm, and Spacious - the Titan Iapetas - ; and to them were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Spacious: Cimmeria, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal of eastern Anatolia, and Meshech of eastern Anatolia, and the Etruscans(?).
3 And the sons of Gomer: Scythians, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan: Cyprus, and Spain, Larnaka, and Rhodes.
5 From these came the maritime nations, according to their lands, every one after his language, after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Warm : Ethiopia, and Mizraim, and Libya, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Ethiopia: Seba, and South Arabia, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Yemen and Dedan.
8 And Cush sired Nimrod: he began to be a great hero on the earth.
9 He was mighty by the will of Yahweh; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hero by Yahweh!
10 And the mainstay of his kingdom was Gate-of-God that is Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 He also built Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.
13 -- And Mizraim was ancestor of the the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Phoenicians, and the Caphtorim.
15 -- And Canaan sired 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 afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.
19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.
20 These are the sons of Warm, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
21 And to Name -- to him also were sons born; he is the ancestor of all the sons of Heber,the ancestor of the Hebrews, the brother of Spacious the elder.
22 The sons of Name : Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lydians of Anatolia, and Aram.
23 And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 -- And Arphaxad sired Shelah; and Shelah begot Heber.
25 And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Division, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan sired Almodad, and Sheleph, and Southern-Arabia, and Jerah,
27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Yemen,
29 and East-Arabia, and South-Arabia, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.
31 These are the sons of Name , after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Rest , after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.
