Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 10:6-20 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

6. Ham’s sons were Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan.

7. Cush’s sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And Raamah’s sons were Sheba, and Dedan.

8. Now Cush fathered Nimrod. He started to become mighty in the land.

9. He was a mighty hunter before Adonai. This is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Adonai.”

10. The beginning of his kingdom included Babel, Erech, Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11. From that land he went out to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rechovot-ir, Calah

12. and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah—it is the great city.

13. Mizraim fathered the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,

14. the Pathrusites, the Casluhites—from whom came the Philistines—and the Caphtorites.

15. Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, Heth,

16. the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17. the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

18. the Arvadite, the Zemarite and the Hamathite—and afterwards, the Canaanite families were scattered.

19. Now the Canaanite border was from Zidon, as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20. These are Ham’s sons according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
