6 Ham’s sons were Cush, Egypt (Hebrew: Mitsrayim), Put, and Canaan. 7 Cush’s sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtekah. Then Raamah’s sons were Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush was also the father of Nimrod who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 Nimrod also became a terrific hunter noticed by Yahweh, so people said, “Like Nimrod, a terrific hunter noticed by Yahweh.” 10 His kingdom began in the cities of Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, all in the Shinar region. 11 From that area he extended to Asshur[fn] where he built the cities of Nineveh, Rehobot-Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the large city of Calah.

13 Mitsrayim fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naftuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim (who the Philistines came from), and Caftorim.

15 Canaan fathered Tsidon his firstborn, then Het,[fn] 16 Yebusi, Emori, Girgashi. 17 Hivi, Arqi, Sini, 18 Arvadi, Tsemari, and Hamati. Later on, the Canaan clans spread in all directions 19 and their border went from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Amorah (Gomorrah), Admah, and Tsevoim, as far as Lasha. 20 Those are Ham’s descendants according to their clans, languages, regions, and nations.
