01:009:017 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

01:009:018 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

01:009:019 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

01:009:020 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

01:009:021 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

01:009:022 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

01:009:023 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

01:009:024 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

01:009:025 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

01:009:026 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

01:009:027 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

01:009:028 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

01:009:029 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

01:010:001 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

01:010:002 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

01:010:003 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

01:010:004 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

01:010:005 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

01:010:006 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

01:010:007 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

01:010:008 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

01:010:009 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

01:010:010 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

01:010:011 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

01:010:012 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

01:010:013 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

01:010:014 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

01:010:015 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
