1 ESTAS son las generaciones de los hijos de Noé: Sem, Châm y Japhet, á los cuales nacieron hijos después del diluvio.

2 Los hijos de Japhet: Gomer, y Magog, y Madai, y Javán, y Tubal, y Meshech, y Tiras.

3 Y los hijos de Gomer: Ashkenaz, y Riphat, y Togorma.

4 Y los hijos de Javán: Elisa, y Tarsis, Kittim, y Dodanim.

5 Por éstos fueron repartidas las islas de las gentes en sus tierras, cada cual según su lengua, conforme á sus familias en sus naciones.

6 Los hijos de Châm: Cush, y Mizraim, y Phut, y Canaán.

7 Y los hijos de Cush: Seba, Havila, y Sabta, y Raama, y Sabtecha. Y los hijos de Raama: Sheba y Dedán.

8 Y Cush engendró á Nimrod, éste comenzó á ser poderoso en la tierra.

9 Este fué vigoroso cazador delante de Jehová; por lo cual se dice: Así como Nimrod, vigoroso cazador delante de Jehová.

10 Y fué la cabecera de su reino Babel, y Erech, y Accad, y Calneh, en la tierra de Shinar.

11 De aquesta tierra salió Assur, y edificó á Nínive, y á Rehoboth, y á Calah,

12 Y á Ressen entre Nínive y Calah; la cual es ciudad grande.

13 Y Mizraim engendró á Ludim, y á Anamim, y á Lehabim, y á Naphtuhim,

14 Y á Pathrusim, y á Casluim de donde salieron los Filisteos, y á Caphtorim.

15 Y Canaán engendró á Sidón, su primogénito y á Heth,

16 Y al Jebuseo, y al Amorrheo, y al Gergeseo,

17 Y al Heveo, y al Araceo, y al Sineo,

18 Y al Aradio, y al Samareo, y al Amatheo: y después se derramaron las familias de los Cananeos.

19 Y fué el término de los Cananeos desde Sidón, viniendo á Gerar hasta Gaza, hasta entrar en Sodoma y Gomorra, Adma, y Zeboim hasta Lasa.

20 Estos son los hijos de Châm por sus familias, por sus lenguas, en sus tierras, en sus naciones.

21 También le nacieron hijos á Sem, padre de todos los hijos de Heber, y hermano mayor de Japhet.

22 Y los hijos de Sem: Elam, y Assur, y Arphaxad, y Lud, y Aram.

23 Y los hijos de Aram: Uz, y Hul, y Gether, y Mas.

24 Y Arphaxad engendró á Sala, y Sala engendró á Heber.

25 Y á Heber nacieron dos hijos: el nombre de uno fué Peleg, porque en sus días fué repartida la tierra; y el nombre de su hermano, Joctán.

26 Y Joctán engendró á Almodad, y á Sheleph, y Hazarmaveth, y á Jera,

27 Y á Hadoram, y á Uzal, y á Dicla,

28 Y á Obal, y á Abimael, y á Seba,

29 Y á Ophir, y á Havila, y á Jobad: todos estos fueron hijos de Joctán.

30 Y fué su habitación desde Mesa viniendo de Sephar, monte á la parte del oriente.

31 Estos fueron los hijos de Sem por sus familias, por sus lenguas, en sus tierras, en sus naciones.

32 Estas son las familias de Noé por sus descendencias, en sus naciones; y de éstos fueron divididas las gentes en la tierra después del diluvio.

1173. Verses 8-9 And Cush begot Nimrod. He began to be a mighty man in the land. He was mighty in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it used to be said, Like Nimrod, mighty in hunting before Jehovah.

Here, as previously, 'Cush' means interior cognitions of spiritual and celestial things. 'Nimrod' means those who made internal worship external, and so means such external worship. 'Cush begot Nimrod' means that those who had cognitions of interior things were the instigators of such worship. 'He was a mighty man in the land' means that this kind of religion in the Church became more prevalent - 'land' is the Church, as previously. 'He was mighty in hunting before Jehovah' means that he persuaded many people. 'Therefore it used to be said, Like Nimrod, mighty in hunting before Jehovah' means that since so many were being persuaded this became a proverbial expression. In addition to this it means that such a religion easily captivates people's minds.

Genesis 10

Lernen

   

1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

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

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

26 Joktan became the father of 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 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
