The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan. ###### v8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. ###### v9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh". ###### v10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ###### v11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, ###### v12 and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah. ###### v13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, ###### v14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim. ###### v15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, ###### v16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, ###### v17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, ###### v18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. ###### v19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon--as you go toward Gerar--to Gaza--as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim--to Lasha. ###### v20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations. ###### v21 Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber. ###### v22 The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. ###### v23 The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. ###### v24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. ###### v25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan. ###### v26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, ###### v27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, ###### v28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, ###### v29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. ###### v30 Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. ###### v31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations. ###### v32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations.
