Afterward, the clans of the Canaanites spread out, 阿尔瓦得人、责玛黎人、和哈玛特人；此后，客纳罕的宗族分散了， 19 12 so that the Canaanite borders extended from Sidon all the way to Gerar, near Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, near Lasha. 20 These are the descendants of Ham, according to their clans and languages, by their lands and nations. 以上这些人按疆域、语言、宗族和国籍，都属含的子孙。 21 To Shem also, Japheth's oldest brother and the ancestor of all the children of Eber, sons were born. 耶斐特的长兄，即厄贝尔所有子孙的祖先闪，也生了儿子。 22 The descendants of Shem: 闪的子孙：厄蓝、亚述、阿帕革沙得、路得和阿兰。 23 The descendants of 阿兰的子孙：伍兹、胡耳、革特尔和玛士。 24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah, and Shelah became the father of Eber. 25 13 To Eber two sons were born: the name of the first was Peleg, for in his time the world was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan. 26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, 敖巴耳、阿彼玛耳、舍巴、 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were descendants of Joktan. 敖非尔、哈威拉和约巴布：以上都是约刻堂的子孙。 30 Their settlements extended all the way to Sephar, the eastern hill country. 31 These are the descendants of Shem, according to their clans and languages by their lands and nations. 32 These are the groupings of Noah's sons, according to their origins and by their nations. From these the other nations of the earth branched out after the flood. 以上这些人按他们的出身和国籍，都是诺厄子孙的家族；洪水以后，地上的民族都是由他们分出来的。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [1-32] This chapter presents a remarkably good classification of the various peoples known to the ancient Israelites; it is theologically important as stressing the basic family unity of all men on earth. The relationship between the various peoples is based partly on linguistic, partly on geographic, and partly on political grounds according to their . . . languages, . . . lands and nations (Genesis 10:31). In general, the descendants of Japheth (Genesis 10:2-5) are the peoples of the Indo-European languages to the north and west of Mesopotamia and Syria; the descendants of Ham (Genesis 10:6-20) are the Hamitic-speaking peoples of northern Africa; and the descendants of Shem (Genesis 10:21-31) are the Semitic-speaking peoples of Mesopotamia, Syria and Arabia. But there are many exceptions to this rule; the Semitic-speaking peoples of 2 [2] Gomer: the Cimmerians; Madai: the Medes; Javan: the Greeks. 3 [3] Ashkenaz: the Scythians. 4 [4] Elishah: 5 [6] 6 [8] 7 [10] 8 [11] Asshur: 9 [12] 10 [14] The Pathrusim: the people of upper (southern) 11 [15] Heth: the biblical Hittites; see note on Genesis 23:3. 12 [19] Lasha: the reading of this name is uncertain; perhaps it should be "Bela"; cf Genesis 14:2. 13 [25] In the Hebrew text there is a play on the name Peleg and the word niplega, "was divided." |
