6 aThe sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush begot aNimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a mighty ahunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter bbefore the Lord.”
10 aAnd the beginning of his kingdom was bBabel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went to aAssyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim a(from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
15 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and aHeth;
16 athe Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
17 the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;
18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
19 aAnd the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20 These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.
21 And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
