Chapter 10 ⇦****⇨
Peleg dies—Nations are divided by their tongues—Sons of Japheth, Ham, and Shem go forth and build cities after their names—They establish their families and lands.
1 And Peleg the son of Eber died in those days, in the forty and eighth year of the life of Abram the son of Terah; and all the days of Peleg were two hundred and thirty and nine years.
2 And when the Lord had scattered the sons of men on account of their sin at the tower, behold, they spread abroad into many divisions, and all the sons of men were dispersed into the four corners of the earth.
3 And all the families became each according to its language, its land, or its city.
4 And the sons of men built many cities according to their families, in all the places where they went, throughout the earth whither the Lord had scattered them.
5 And some of them built cities in places from which they were afterward extirpated, and they called these cities after their own names, or the names of their children, or after their particular occurrences.
6 And the sons of Japheth the son of Noah went and built themselves cities in the places where they were scattered, and they called all their cities after their names; and the sons of Japheth were divided upon the face of the earth into many divisions and languages.
7 And these are the sons of Japheth according to their families: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras; these are the children of Japheth according to their generations.
8 And the children of Gomer, according to their cities, were the Francum, who dwelt in the land of Franza, by the river Franza, by the river Senah.
9 And the children of Rephath were the Bartonim, who dwelt in the land of Bartonia by the river Ledah, which emptieth its waters into the great sea Gihon, that is, Oceanus.
10 And the children of Togarmah were ten families, and these are their names: Buzar, Parzunac, Balgar, Elikanum, Ragbib, Tarki, Bid, Zebuc, Ongal, and Tilmaz; all these spread and rested in the north and built themselves cities.
11 And they called their cities after their own names; these are they who abide by the rivers Hithlah and Italac unto this day.
12 But the families of Angoli, Balgar, and Parzunac dwelt by the great river Dubnee; and the names of their cities were also after their own names.
13 And the children of Javan were the Javanim, who dwelt in the land of Macedonia; and the children of Madai were the Orelum who dwelt in the land of Curson; and the children of Tubal were those who dwelt in the land of Tuskanah by the river Pashiah.
14 And the children of Meshech were the Shibashni; and the children of Tiras were Rushash, Cushni, and Ongolis; all these went and built themselves cities. Those are the cities which lie by the sea Jabus by the river Cura, which emptieth itself into the river Tragan.
15 And the children of Elishah were the Almanim; and they also went and built themselves cities. Those are the cities which lie between the mountains of Job and Shibathmo; and of them were the people of Lombardi who dwelt opposite the mountains of Job and Shibathmo, and they conquered the land of Italia and remained there unto this day.
16 And the children of Chittim were the Romim who dwelt in the valley of Canopia by the river Tibreu.
17 And the children of Dodanim were those who dwelt in the cities of the sea Gihon, in the land of Bordna.
18 These are the families of the children of Japheth according to their cities and languages, when they were scattered after the tower; and they called their cities after their names and occurrences; and these are the names of all their cities according to their families, which they built in those days after the tower.
19 And the children of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan according to their generations and cities.
20 All these went and built themselves cities where they found fit places, and they called their cities after the names of their fathers: Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan.
21 And the children of Mizraim were the Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuchim, Pathrusim, Casluchim, and Caphturim, seven families.
22 All these dwelt by the river Sihor, that is, the brook of Egypt; and they built themselves cities and called them after their own names.
23 And the children of Pathros and Casloch intermarried together; and from them went forth the Philistim, the Azathim, and the Gerarim, the Githim, and the Ekronim, in all five families. These also built themselves cities, and they called their cities after the names of their fathers unto this day.
24 And the children of Canaan also built themselves cities, and they called their cities after their names, eleven cities and others without number.
25 And four men from the family of Ham went to the land of the plain; these are the names of the four men: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboyim.
26 And these men built themselves four cities in the land of the plain, and they called the names of their cities after their own names.
27 And they and their children and all belonging to them dwelt in those cities, and they were fruitful and multiplied greatly and dwelt peaceably.
28 And Seir the son of Hur, son of Hivi, son of Canaan, went and found a valley opposite to Mount Paran, and he built a city there; and he and his seven sons and his household dwelt there, and he called the city which he built Seir, after his name; that is the land of Seir unto this day.
29 These are the families of the children of Ham according to their languages and cities, when they were scattered to their countries after the tower.
30 And some of the children of Shem the son of Noah, father of all the children of Eber, also went and built themselves cities in the places wherein they were scattered; and they called their cities after their names.
31 And the sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram; and they built themselves cities and called the names of all their cities after their names.
32 And Asshur the son of Shem and his children and household went forth at that time, a very great number of them; and they went to a distant land that they found, and they came upon a very broad valley in the land whither they went; and they built themselves four cities, and they called them after their own names and occurrences.
33 And these are the names of the cities which the children of Asshur built: Nineveh, Resen, Calah, and Rehoboth; and the children of Asshur dwelt there unto this day.
34 And the children of Aram also went and built themselves a city, and they called the name of the city Uz after their eldest brother; and they dwelt therein; that is the land of Uz unto this day.
35 And in the second year after the tower, a man from the house of Asshur, whose name was Bela, went from the land of Nineveh to sojourn with his household wherever he could find a place; and they came until they were opposite the cities of the plain by Sodom, and they dwelt there.
36 And the man rose up and built there a small city, and called its name Bela, after his name; that is the land of Zoar unto this day.
37 These are the families of the children of Shem according to their languages and cities, after they were scattered upon the earth after the tower.
38 And every kingdom, city, and family of the families of the children of Noah built themselves many cities after this;
39 and they established governments in all their cities, that they might be ruled by their statutes and ordinances; so did all the families of the children of Noah for ever.
