Genesis 10:4-14

4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim.
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided into their lands, every one after his own tongue, according to their families, into their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim, and Put and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land he went forth to Assyria, and built Nineveh and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; the same is a great city.
13 And Mizraim begot Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim
14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim (out of whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.
