Genesis 10:10-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

21. Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

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

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

24. But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber.

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

26. This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah

27. and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah,
