Genesis 10:8-18

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

15 Chanaan autem genuit Sidonem primogenitum suum Ettheum

16 et Iebuseum et Amorreum Gergeseum

17 Eveum et Araceum Sineum

18 et Aradium Samariten et Amatheum et post haec disseminati sunt populi Chananeorum
