Douay Rheims Genesis 10

Book Of Genesis  Chapter 10

The genealogy of the children of Noe, by whom the world was peopled after the flood.

[1] These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood. [2] The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras. [3] And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma. [4] And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim. [5] By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.

[6] And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan. [7] And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan. [8] Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth. [9] And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord. [10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

[11] Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale. [12] Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city. [13] And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim, [14] And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim. [15] And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,

[16] And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite, [17] The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite, [18] And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad. [19] And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa. [20] These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

[21] Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born. [22] The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. [23] The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess. [24] But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber. [25] And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother' s name Jectan.

[26] Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare, [27] And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla, [28] And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba, [29] And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan. [30] And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

[31] These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations. [32] These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
