5 From these the coastlands of the nations spread out in their lands, each one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
6 Ham’s sons were Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan.
7 Cush’s sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And Raamah’s sons were Sheba, and Dedan.

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