Now these are the generations of the sonnes of Noah, Shem, Ham and Iapheth: vnto whom sonnes were borne after the flood.

The sonnes of Iapheth were Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

And the sonnes of Gomer, Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

Also the sonnes of Iauan, Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

Of these were the yles of the Gentiles deuided in their landes, euery man after his tongue, and after their families in their nations.

Moreouer, ye sonnes of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

And the sonnes of Cush, Seba and Hauilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: also the sonnes of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

And Cush begate Nimrod, who began to be mightie in the earth.

He was a mightie hunter before the Lord. wherefore it is saide, As Nimrod the mightie hunter before the Lord.

And the beginning of his kingdome was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Out of that land came Asshur, and builded Niniueh, and the citie Rehoboth, and Calah:

Resen also betweene Niniueh and Calah: this is a great citie.

And Mizraim begate Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim.

Also Canaan begat Zidon his first borne, and Heth,

And Iebusi, and Emori, and Girgashi,

And Hiui, and Arki, and Sini,

And Aruadi, and Zemari, and Hamathi: and afterwarde were the families of the Canaanites spred abroade.

Then the border of the Canaanites was from Zidon, as thou commest to Gerar vntil Azzah, and as thou goest vnto Sodom, and Gomorah, and Admah, and Zeboijm, euen vnto Lasha.

These are the sonnes of Ham according to their families, according to their tongues in their countries and in their nations.
