9:23-10:19

[9:23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. [9:24] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him. [9:25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. [9:26] And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. [9:27] God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. [9:28] And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. [9:29] And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. [10:1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, namely, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. [10:2] The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. [10:3] And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. [10:4] And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. [10:5] Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. [10:6] And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. [10:7] And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. [10:8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. [10:9] He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah. [10:10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. [10:11] Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, [10:12] and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). [10:13] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, [10:14] and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim. [10:15] And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth, [10:16] and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, [10:17] and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, [10:18] and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad. [10:19] And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha.
