RF GEN 10:1 History of Noah's Sons.
Now these are the registers of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; for they had sons born to them after the deluge.
RF GEN 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, Magog, and Madai, and Ion, and Thubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
RF GEN 10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Thogarmah.
RF GEN 10:4 And the sons of Javan (Ion) Elishah, and Tharshish, Kittim, and the Dodanim.
RF GEN 10:5 From these they spread themselves over the sea-coasts of the countries of the nations, each with their language amongst the gentile tribes.
RF GEN 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
RF GEN 10:7 And the sons of Kush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabthah, and Raamah, and Sabtheka; and the sons of Raamah, Sheba and Dedan.
RF GEN 10:8 To Kush was born Nimrod. Wild beasts began then to infest the earth;
RF GEN 10:9 so he became a powerful hunter in the presence of the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD."
RF GEN 10:10 And the capitals of his kingdoms were Babel,1 and Ereck and Akad, and Kalinah in the Bush-land2
RF GEN 10:11 From that land Asshur proceeded to Assyria, and built Ninevah, and the town of the plains, and Kalah
RF GEN 10:12 and Resen, between Ninevah and Kalah, which is a large city.
RF GEN 10:13 The Mizraim also produced the Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
RF GEN 10:14 and Pathrusim, and Kasluhim, from whom sprung the Philistines and the Kaphtorites.
RF GEN 10:15 And to Canaan were born Zidon, his eldest, and Heth;
RF GEN 10:16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
RF GEN 10:17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
RF GEN 10:18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and each spread themselves as the tribes of the Canaanites.
RF GEN 10:19 And the boundaries of the Canaanites are from Zidon by the valley of Gerar to Gaza; along the valley of Sodom. and Gomorrah and Adman, and Zeboiim, to Lashar.

1. The Babel mentioned here must not be confused with the Babylon of the Nebuchadnezzar's, which was built long after, as a City probably really by Nebuchadnezzar the First.—F.F.
2. v10 "Shinar" signifies "Bush-land," and I therefore translate it, to remove a geographical error of old standing—F.F
RF GEN 10:20 These were the sons of Ham, in their tribes and languages, in the regions of the heathen.
RF GEN 10:21 And Shem, the elder brother of Japheth, also produced. He was the father of all the sons of Heber.1
RF GEN 10:22 The sons of Shem were Elam, and Ashur, and Arphaxed, and Lot, and Aram.
RF GEN 10:23 And the sons of Aram Uz and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
RF GEN 10:24 And to Arphaxed was born Shelah, and to Shelah was born Heber;
RF GEN 10:25 and to Heber were born two sons, the name of the first, Peleg;2 because in his days the Continent was split up; and his brother's name was Joktan.3
RF GEN 10:26 And to Joktan were born Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth, and Jereh
RF GEN 10:27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah;
RF GEN 10:28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba;
RF GEN 10:29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were sons of Joktan,
RF GEN 10:30 and they populated from Mesha, by the valley of Sephar, a mountain of the East.
RF GEN 10:31 These are the sons of Shem, by their tribes and by their languages in their countries among the heathen.
RF GEN 10:32 The above were the families of the sons of Noah, and their descendants, by tribes. From them they spread themselves amongst the nations on the earth after the Flood.

1. v21. "Heber" in Hebrew signifies a "colonizer" or "colonist" and it is an historical fact that the Semitic nations have been the greatest colonizers of the earth. As Baron von Humboldt says of the Arabian branch, "They are the most mobile race in the world."
2. and 3. v25 "Peleg" means "split" in Hebrew. "Joktan" means in the Hebrew "Lessened," probably referring to the "lessening" of the original continent by the "splitting" away of the American continents. See Prof. C. A. L. Totten's works upon this great geological convulsion. If we take a map of the two Americas, in Mercator's projection, and cut out the Atlantic, the indentations of the Eastern Americas and Western Europe and Africa fit into each other.—F.F.
