Cities and Nations

6And the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7And the sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty man on the earth.

9He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.”

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

11From that land Asshur went out and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah.

12and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.

13And Mizraim fathered the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim.

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

15And Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, and Heth.

16and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, and the Girgashites.

17and the Hivites, the Arkites, and the Sinites.

18and the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites were scattered.

19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; and as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, by their languages, in their lands, by their nations.
