Bereshis 10:7-19 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. And the Bnei Cush: Seva, and Chavilah, and Savtah, and Raamah, and Savtecha; and the Bnei Raamah: Sheva, and Dedan.

8. And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a gibbor in ha'aretz.

9. He was a gibbor, a hunter before Hashem; therefore it is said, like Nimrod the gibbor, the hunter before Hashem.

10. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in Eretz Shinar.

11. Out of that land he went forth to Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rechovot-Ir, and Kelach,

12. And Resen between Nineveh and Kelach; the same is haIr Hagedolah.

13. And Mitzrayim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehavim, and Naphtuchim,

14. And Patrusim, and Casluchim, out of whom came Pelishtim (Philistines), and Caphtorim.

15. And Kena'an fathered Tzidon his bechor, and Chet,

16. And the Yevusi, and the Emori, and the Girgashi,

17. And the Chivvi, and the Arki, and the Sini,

18. And the Arvadi, and the Tzemari, and the Chamati; and afterward were the mishpechot haKena'ani spread abroad.

19. And the boundary of the Kena'ani was from Tzidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Azah (Gaza); as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Amora (Gomorrah), and Admah, and Tzevoyim, even unto Lesha.
