10:7
And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.

10:8

And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn, and Heth;

10:16

10:17
and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite;

10:18
and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.

10:19

10:24
And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.

10:25

10:27
and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah;

10:28
and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba;

10:29
and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

10:30
