1 و َهَذِهِ هِيَ شَجَرَةُ عائِلَةِ أبْناءِ نُوحَ، سامَ وَحامَ وَيافَثَ. وَقَدْ وُلِدَ لَهُمْ أبْناءٌ بَعْدَ الطُّوفانِ. نسلُ يافَث

These are the families of Shem, Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and of their families. Sons were born to them after the flood.

5 و َمِنْ بَنِي يافَثَ هَؤُلاءِ انْتَشَرَتِ الشُّعُوبُ عَلَى طُولِ سَواحِلِ البَحْرِ، وَكَوَّنَتْ بُلْداناً لَها لُغاتُها، حَسَبَ عَشائِرِها وَشُعُوبِها. نسلُ حام

From these the people who live beside the sea spread out into their lands, each one by his language, family, and nation.

Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first on earth to become a powerful man.

9 و َكانَ صَيّاداً جَبّاراً فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ. وَلِهَذا يُضْرَبُ فِيهِ المَثَلُ فَيُقالُ: «هَذا كَنِمْرُودَ، صَيّادٌ جَبّارٌ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.»

He was a powerful animal-killer in the eyes of the Lord. So it is said, “Like Nimrod, a powerful animal-killer in the eyes of the Lord.”

He went into Assyria from the land, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah

Pathrusim, Casluhim (from which came the Philistines), and Caphtorim.

So the land of the Canaanite was from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim as far as Lasha.
