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.
