Genesis 10:15-20

10:15-16

‫  וּכְנַ֗עַן   יָלַ֛ד   אֶת־צִידֹ֥ן בְּכֹר֖וֹ

And Canaan, he had begotten Sidon his firstborn,

וְאֶת־חֵֽת׃

and Heth (Hittites/Terror)

‫   וְאֶת־הַיְבוּסִי֙   וְאֶת־הָ֣אֱמֹרִ֔י

and the Jebusite, and the Amorite,

וְאֵ֖ת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי׃

and the Girgasite;

10:17-18

‫   וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַחִוִּ֥י וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַעַרְקִ֖י   וְאֶת־הַסִּינִֽי׃

And also the Hivite and the Arkite;
and the Sinite;

‫   וְאֶת־הֽ͏ָאַרְוָדִ֥י וְאֶת־הַצְּמָרִ֖י   וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַחֲמָתִ֑י

And the Arvadite and the Semarite;

וְאַחַ֣ר נָפֹ֔צוּ   מִשְׁפְּח֖וֹת   הֽ͏ַכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃

Then afterwards,
the Canaanite clans dispersed themselves;

10:19-20

‫   וֽ͏ַיְהִ֞י גְּב֤וּל הֽ͏ַכְּנַעֲנִי֙ מִצִּידֹ֔ן

And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon,

בֹּאֲכָ֥ה גְרָ֖רָה עַד־עַזָּ֑ה

As you go to Gerar, down to and including Gaza.

בֹּאֲכָ֞ה   סְדֹ֧מָה וַעֲמֹרָ֛ה

As you go down to Sodom and Gomorrah,

וְאַדְמָ֥ה וּצְבֹיִ֖ם   עַד־לָֽשַׁע׃

and Admah and Zeboim,
across to and including Lasha (East of Dead Sea).

אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־חָ֔ם   לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם   לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָ֑ם

These were the sons of Ham, according to their clans, by their languages,

בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם   בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃ ס

In their countries, in their nations.
