And Ham's sons were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

And the sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And Raamah's sons were Sheba and Dedan.

And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the land.

He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; so it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah.

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

From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth the city, and Calah,

and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city.

And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim.

And Canaan fathered his first-born Sidon, 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. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.

And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha.

These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countries, in their nations.
