Genesis 10:6-20

New Catholic Bible

⁶ The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷ The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca.

The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ Cush gave birth to Nimrod. He was the first of the mighty ones upon the earth. ⁹ He was a great hunter before the Lord, for it is said, “Just like Nimrod, a great hunter before the Lord.” ¹⁰ The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went to Asshur where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is the main city.

¹³ Mizraim gave birth to the Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ Pathrusim, Casluhim, and Caphtorim (from whom came the Philistines).

¹⁵ Canaan gave birth to Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, ¹⁷ the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, ¹⁸ the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites.

Afterward the clans of the Canaanites spread outward. ¹⁹ The boundaries of the Canaanites stretch from Sidon in the area of Gerar up to Gaza, and then go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, up to Lasha.

²⁰ These were the sons of Ham according to their clans and their languages, in their various territories and according to their peoples.
