GENESIS Heart of David Study Bible

Noakh began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. He drank of the wine and got
drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. Khawm, the father of Kayinan, saw the
nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. Shem and Yepheth took a
garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness
of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
Noakh awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. He said,

“Kayinan is cursed.
He will be servant of servants to his brothers.”
He said,
“Blessed be Yahweh, the Elohim of Shem.
Let Kayinan be his servant.
May Elohim enlarge Yepheth.
Let him dwell in the tents of Shem.
Let Kayinan be his servant.”

Noakh lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. All the days of Noakh were
nine hundred fifty years, then he died.

Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noakh and of Shem,
Khawm, and Yepheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
The sons of Yepheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Yawan, Tubal, Meshek, and Tiras.
The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The sons of Yawan: Elishah,
Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. Of these were the coastlands of the nations divided in their
lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.
The sons of Khawm: Kush, Mitsrayim, Put, and Kayinan. The sons of Kush: Seba,
Hawilah, Sabtah, Ra`mah, and Sabteka. The sons of Ra`mah: Sheba, and Dedan. Kush
became the father of Nimrod [rebel]; he began to be a tyrant in the earth. He was a
tyrannical hunter in the face of Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “Nimrod, the tyrannical
hunter in the face of Yahweh.” The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erek, Akkad,
and Kalneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land he went into Ashshur, and built
Nineweh, Rehoboth Ir, Kalah, and Resen between Nineweh and Kalah (the same is the
great city). Mitsrayim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
Pathrusim, Kasluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Kaphtorim.
Kayinan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, the Yebusite, the Amorite,
the Girgashite, the Hiwite, the Arkite, the Sinite, the Arwadite, the Zemarite, and the
Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Kayinanites were spread abroad. The border of
the Kayinanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward
