The Descendants of Noah's Sons · Genesis 10

The Descendants of Noah's Sons (Genesis 10) read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew - plain modern English, nothing added.

Translator's notes:

• Genesis 10:11 — מִן־הָאָרֶץ הַהִוא יָצָא אַשּׁוּר (min-haaretz hahi yatza Ashur): chose "Asshur went out". Alternatives: taking Nimrod as the one who went out and built the Assyrian cities. Why: in the Hebrew word order Asshur stands as the subject of the verb "went out," so the rendering follows the sentence as it stands.

• Genesis 10:21 — אֲחִי יֶפֶת הַגָּדוֹל (achi Yefet haggadol): chose "the elder brother of Japheth"…
