Genesis 10
10:1 a
Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and
unto them were sons born after the flood.
(
a) These generations are here recited, partly to
declare the marvellous increase, and also to set forth their great
forgetfulness of God's grace towards their fathers.
10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and
b
Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
(
b) Of Madai and Javan came the Medes and Greeks.
10:5 By
these were the
c isles of the Gentiles
divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in
their nations.
(
c) So do the Jews call all countries which are
separated from them by sea, as Greece, Italy etc, which were given to the
children of Japheth, of whom came the Gentiles.
10:6 And the sons of Ham;
d
Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
(
d) Of Cush and Mizraim came the Ethiopians and
Egyptians.
10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he
began to be a
e mighty one in the earth.
(
e) Meaning, a cruel oppressor and tyrant.
10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD:
wherefore it is said, Even
f as Nimrod
the mighty hunter before the LORD.
(
f) His tyranny came into a proverb as hated both
by God and man: for he did not cease to commit cruelty even in God's
presence.
10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel,
and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of
g
Shinar.
(
g) For there was another city in Egypt, called
Babel.
10:13
And Mizraim begat
h Ludim, and Anamim,
and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
(
h) Of Lud came the Lydians.
10:21
Unto
i Shem also, the father of all the
children of
k Eber, the brother of
Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born.
(
i) In his stock the Church was preserved:
therefore Moses stops speaking of Japheth and Ham, and speaks of Shem
extensively.
(
k) Of whom came the Hebrews or Jews.
10:25
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days
was the earth
l divided; and his
brother's name [was] Joktan.
(
l) This division came by the diversity of
language, as appears in (
Genesis
11:9).
