GENESIS X.
11

11 And I established my covenant with you; and all flesh shall not be dissipated any more by the waters of a flood; and there shall not be any more a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God will say, This is a sign of the covenant which I give between me and between you, and between every breathing thing living which is with you for future generations.

13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant me and between the earth.

14 And it shall be in my giving a cloud upon the earth, and the bow was seen in the cloud.

15 And I remembered my covenant which is between me and between you, and between every breathing thing living of all flesh; and the waters shall not any more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 The bow shall be in the cloud; and seeing it to remember the lasting covenant between God and between every breathing thing living of all flesh which is upon the earth.

17 And God will say to Noah, This the sign of the covenant which I established between me and between all flesh which is upon the earth.

18 And the sons of Noah going forth from the ark shall be Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham he the father of Canaan.

19 These the three sons of Noah; and from these was the whole earth disseminated.

20 And Noah will begin a man of the earth, and he will plant a vineyard.

21 And he will drink of the wine and he will be intoxicated, and will be uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham the father of Canaan will see the nakedness of his father, and he will declare to his two brethren without.

23 And Shem and Japheth will take a garment and they will put upon their two shoulders, and will go backwards and will cover the nakedness of their father: and their faces backwards, and they will not see the nakedness of their father.

24 And Noah will awake from his wine and will know what his young son did to him.

25 And he will say, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren.

26 And he will say. Praised Jehovah, God of Shem; Canaan shall be servant to him.

27 God will dilate Japheth; he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be servant to him.

28 And Noah shall live after the flood three hundred years and fifty years.

29 And all the days of Noah shall be nine hundred years and fifty years: and he shall die.

CHAPTER X.

THESE the generations of the sons of Noah; Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons shall be born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Chittim and Dodanim.

5 By these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands; a man according to his tongue, according to their tribe, in their nations.

6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons of Raamah; Sheba and Dedan.

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be strong in the earth.

9 He was a strong taker of prey before the face of Jehovah; for this he will say. As Nimrod the strong hunter before the face of Jehovah.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom shall be Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 From that land shall come forth Asshur, and shall build Nineveh, and the city Reheboth, and Calah,

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: this a great city.

13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim.
