Chapter 10 of Genesis—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.
  2. 1The sons of Japheth were 2Gomer and Magog and 3Madai and 4Javan and Tubal and 5Meshech and Tiras.
  3. The sons of Gomer were 6Ashkenaz and [a]Riphath and 7Togarmah.
  4. The sons of Javan were Elishah and 8Tarshish, Kittim and [b]Dodanim.
  5. From these the coastlands of the nations [c]were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
  6. 9The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
  7. The sons of Cush were 10Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and 11Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were 12Sheba and 13Dedan.
  8. Now Cush [d]became the father of Nimrod; he [e]became a mighty one on the earth.
  9. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
  10. The beginning of his kingdom was [f]14Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of 15Shinar.
  11. From that land he went forth 16into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,
  12. and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
  13. Mizraim [g]became the father of 17Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim
  14. and 18Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.
  15. ¶ Canaan [h]became the father of 19Sidon, his firstborn, and 20Heth
  16. and 21the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite
  17. and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite
  18. and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.
  19. 22The territory of the Canaanite [i]extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward 23Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
  20. These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.
  21. ¶ Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the [j]older brother of Japheth, children were born.
  22. 24The sons of Shem were 25Elam and Asshur and 26Arpachshad and 27Lud and Aram.
  23. The sons of Aram were 28Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
  24. Arpachshad [k]became the father of 29Shelah; and Shelah [l]became the father of Eber.
  25. 30Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was [m]Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
  26. Joktan [n]became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah
  27. and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah
  28. and [o]Obal and Abimael and Sheba
  29. and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
  30. Now their [p]settlement [q]extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
  31. These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.
  32. ¶ These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and 31out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
