1 Now these are the generations of the sonnes of Noah; Shem, Ham, and Iaphet: and vnto them were sonnes borne after the Flood.

2 The sonnes of Iaphet: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, & Tubal, and Meshech, & Tiras.

3 And the sonnes of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Iauan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 By these were the Iles of the Gentiles diuided in their lands, euery one after his tongue: after their families, in their nations.

6 ¶ And the sonnes of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

7 And the sonnes of Cush, Seba, and Hauilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sonnes of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is saide, Euen as Nimrod the mightie hunter before the LORD.

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

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineueh, and the citie Rehoboth, and Calah,

12 And Resen betweene Nineueh and Calah: the same is a great citie.

13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim (out of whome came Philistiim) and Caphtorim.

15 ¶ And Canaan begate Sidon his first borne, and Heth,

16 And the Iebusite, and the Emorite, and the Girgasite,

17 And the Hiuite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

18 And the Aruadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

19 And the border of the Canaanites, was from Sidon, as thou commest to Gerar, vnto Gaza, as thou goest vnto Sodoma and Gomorah, and Admah, & Zeboim, euen vnto Lasha.

20 These are the sonnes of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

21 ¶ Unto Shem also the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Iaphet the elder, euen to him were children borne.

22 The children of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 And the children of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24 And Arphaxad begate Salah, and Salah begate Eber.

25 And vnto Eber were borne two sonnes: the name of one was Peleg, for in his dayes was the earth diuided, and his brothers name was Ioktan.

26 And Ioktan begate Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaueth, and Ierah,

27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

29 And Ophir, and Hauilah, & Iobab: all these were the sonnes of Ioktan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest vnto Sephar, a mount of the East.

31 These are the sonnes of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sonnes of Noah after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations diuided in the earth after the Flood.

Adelta's Genesis Chapter 10 comment on 2/05/2013, 2:46pm...

this is food for thought, you learned so much about the generation of noah,s and it is really interesting when you read and read the words of god

 


Clayton's Genesis Chapter 10 comment about verse 25 on 11/06/2012, 10:40am...

In this passage, it said his days on earth were divided? What do they mean? Divided how and between what or where?

 


Esther's Genesis Chapter 10 comment on 10/20/2012, 5:50pm...

Does anyone know where I can find more of the story of Nimrod, Semiramis in the bible? I remember reading somewhere that one of Noah's sons chopped off Nimrod's head for marrying his mother. Very interesting subject especially since a lot of countries paganisms' are rooted in this very first pagan religion of Babylon.

 


Lori's Genesis Chapter 10 comment on 10/14/2012, 12:39pm...

Divided but not to separate or to curse them-please see Youtube southwest ministries coast to coast. The fall of Lucifer and its implications by Dr. David Ingraham, God divided the 70 nations according to the 70 grandchildren of Noah-purposefully dividing them racially, geographically, etc. When there is only one nation, much, if not everything, can be taken away, restricted, denied, dominated, etc. God did this so we might overcome language barriers and love one another with respect to our differences.

 


Keith's Genesis Chapter 10 comment on 5/25/2012, 11:28am...

@Ian the world was divided not like the division which happened after confusion( division of languages) this division simply refers to the geographic distibution of various tribes

 


J.R.'s Genesis Chapter 10 comment on 3/20/2012, 8:41am...

@ Mariafernanda

You need to re-read the bible, seriously. Ham's generations were NOT cursed, all it says is that Caanan's lineage would be cursed. Also, Caanan was the land that was promised, and that area was in the middle east, so......there goes your idea about them being African. That is why although the Caananites are of Hametic descent, they shared a very similar shemitic language (ie: how hebrew sounds like arabic, with the hard koph and the glutteral *sp* stop)

 


Annie Mckenzie's Genesis Chapter 10 comment on 3/10/2012, 4:30pm...

Divide-to seperate; to stay apart.

 


Mariafernanda's Genesis Chapter 10 comment about verse 32 on 3/04/2012, 3:09pm...

Divide- to seperate; to stay apart. Therefore, the Bible says the generations of Japheth have to divide from the generations of Shem or Ham. Whites and hispanics come from the generation of Japheth. Shem's generation are the middle easterns and asians. Ham's generation, the cursed people, consists of African natives. Therefore, the Bible DOES SAY to divide from the decendants of the other two generations.
