Once again, we are reading today Genesis chapter 10 and chapter 11 and Psalm 2. Let's get started. Genesis 10 and 11. These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. The sons of Japheth, Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshach, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer, Ashkenaz, Rephath, and Torgamer.
The sons of Javan, Elisha, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations. The sons of Ham, Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. The sons of Cush, Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Ramah, and Sabtaka. The sons of Ramah, Sheba, and Adan. Cush became the father of Nimrod.
He was the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore, it is said, like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Akkad, all of them in the land of Shinar. From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh. There he had both Ir, Kela, and Rezin between Nineveh and Kela, that is the great city.
Egypt became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lihabim, Naphtuhim, Pashusim, Kazluhim, whence came the Philistines, and Kaphtarim. Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth. and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvidites, the Zemurites, and the Hamathites.
Afterward, the families of the Canaanites spread abroad, and the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Adma, and Zeboim as far as Lasha. These are the sons of Ham by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations."
To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born. The sons of Shem, Elam, Ashur, Arpashad, Lud, and Aram. The sons of Aram, Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. Arpashad became the father of Shelah, and Shelah became the father of Eber. To Eber were born two sons.
