4 The sons of Javan were Elishah and 1Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim.
5 From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
6 2The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush were 3Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and 4Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were 5Sheba and 6Dedan.
8 Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became * a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore * it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."
10 The beginning of his kingdom was 7Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of 8Shinar.
11 From that land he went forth 9into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
13 Mizraim became the father of 10Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim
14 and 11Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines ) and Caphtorim.
