Genesis 10:12-32

Genesis 10:12-32 AMP

and [Nimrod built] Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; all these [combined to form] the great city [Nineveh]. [Jon 1:2; 3:2] Mizraim [the ancestor of the Egyptians] became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim and Pathrusim and Casluhim—from whom came the Philistines—and Caphtorim. Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as one goes to Gerar, as far as Gaza; and as one goes to Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. These are the descendants of Ham according to their constituent groups, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations. Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber [including the Hebrews], the older brother of Japheth, children were born. The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram; the sons of Aram [ancestor of the Syrians]: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash. Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. Two sons were born to Eber; the name of one was Peleg (division), for [the inhabitants of] the earth were divided in his days; and his brother’s name was Joktan. Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, and Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, and Obal, Abimael, Sheba, and Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. Now their territory extended from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, to the hill country of the east. These are Shem’s descendants according to their constituent groups (families), according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations. These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and from these [people] the nations were separated and spread abroad on the earth after the flood. [Acts 17:26]
