Genesis
Chapter 10
15
Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth,
16
and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
17
the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
18
the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites dispersed.
19
And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20
These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
21
To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.
22
The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
23
The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
24
Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber.
25
To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.
26
Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
27
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
28
Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29
Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30
The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.
31
These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
32
These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
Genyeoh's Note
May 7
The posterity of Canaan were numerous, rich, and pleasantly seated; yet Canaan was under a Divine curse, and not a curse causeless. Those that are under the curse of God, may, perhaps, thrive and prosper in this world; for we cannot know love or hatred, the blessing or the curse, by what is before us, but by what is within us. The curse of God always works really, and always terribly.
