Genesis 10:6-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.

⁷ And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.

⁸ Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

⁹ And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

¹¹ Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.

¹² Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

¹³ And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,

¹⁴ And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

¹⁵ And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,

¹⁶ And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,

¹⁷ The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

¹⁸ And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.

²⁰ These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
