Genesis 10:4-14

4 filii autem Iavan Elisa et Tharsis Cetthim et Dodanim

5 ab his divisae sunt insulae gentium in regionibus suis unusquisque secundum linguam et familias in nationibus suis

6 filii autem Ham Chus et Mesraim et Fut et Chanaan

7 filii Chus Saba et Hevila et Sabatha et Regma et Sabathaca filii Regma Saba et Dadan

8 porro Chus genuit Nemrod ipse coepit esse potens in terra

9 et erat robustus venator coram Domino ab hoc exivit proverbium quasi Nemrod robustus venator coram Domino

10 fuit autem principium regni eius Babylon et Arach et Archad et Chalanne in terra Sennaar

11 de terra illa egressus est Assur et aedificavit Nineven et plateas civitatis et Chale

12 Resen quoque inter Nineven et Chale haec est civitas magna

13 at vero Mesraim genuit Ludim et Anamim et Laabim Nepthuim

14 et Phetrusim et Cesluim de quibus egressi sunt Philisthim et Capthurim
