The Descendants of Ham
6The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim,[] Put, and Canaan. 7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Ra'amah, and Sabteca.
The sons of Ra'amah were Sheba and Dedan.
8Cush became the father of Nimrod. He was the first to be a mighty warrior on the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. That is why the saying is “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Uruk, Akkad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.[] 11From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, the great city. 13Mizraim[] became the father of the Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines descended), and the Caphtorim. 15Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn) and Heth, 16as well as the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread out. 19Then the borders of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, southward toward Gerar as far as Gaza; from there it extended eastward toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20These were the sons of Ham, according to their ethnic groups, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
