==A list of the seventy :''Main article [[Seventy nations.==]]''

The two chapters ===A list of Genesis 10 and 11 are considered in Jewish tradition to refer to the seventy nations. The souls that appeared from Noah to Israel became the roots of the seventy nations. They did not appear all at once, rather progressively. ===

Where The haggadic assumption that there are seventy nations and languages in the verse names a child without further describing his progenyworld is based upon the ethnological table given in Gen. 10-11, that child was father where seventy grandsons of one Noah are enumerated, each of whom became the seventy nationsancestor of a nation. Starting These are the children of Shemprimordial nations, sometimes referred to as the verse names "sons and daughtersseventy tounges," which also refers to one representing all humanity. The Talmud (BT Sukkah 55:B) teaches that the seventy bulls that were offered in the Holy Temple during the Feast of Tabernacles served as atonement for the seventy nationsof the world. Truly, as the rabbis observed, "if the nations of the world had only known how much they needed the Temple, they would have surrounded it with armed fortresses to protect it" (Bamidbar Rabbah 1, 3).

1 Now these are the generations of the sons of ''NoahNoach'': ''Shem'', ''HamCham'', and ''JaphethYefeth''; and unto them were sons born after the flood.2 The sons of ''JaphethYefeth'': ''Gomer'', and (1) [[Magogite Nation|Magog]], and (2) [[Madaiite Nation|Madai]], and ''JavanYavan'', and (3) [[Tubalite Tuvalite Nation|TubalTuval]], and (4) [[Meshechite Meshekhite Nation|MeshechMeshekh]], and (5) [[Tirasite Nation|Tiras]].3 And the sons of ''Gomer'': (6) [[Ashkenazite Nation|Ashkenaz]], and (7) [[Riphathite Rifathite Nation|RiphathRifath]], and (8) [[Togarmahite Nation|Togarmah]].4 And the sons of ''JavanYavan'': (9) [[Elishahite Nation|Elishah]], and (10) [[Tarshishite Nation|Tarshish]], (11) [[Kittite Nation|Kittim]], and (12) [[Dodanite Nation|Dodanim]].

6 And the sons of ''HamCham'': ''CushKhush'', and ''MizraimMitzraim'', and (13) [[Putite Nation|Put]], and ''Canaan''.7 And the sons of ''CushKhush'': (14) [[Sebaite Sevaite Nation|SebaSeva]], and (15) [[Havilahite Chavilite Nation|HavilahChavila]], and (16) [[Sabtahite Savtahite Nation|SabtahSavtah]], and ''RaamahRa'amah'', and (17) [[Sabtecaite Savtekhaite Nation|SabtecaSavtekha]]; and the sons of ''RaamahRa'amah'': (18) [[Shebaite Khushite-Shevaite Nation|ShebaSheva]], and (19) [[Dedanite Nation|Dedan]].8 And ''CushKhush'' begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was BabelBabylon, and ErechErekh, and AccadAkkad, and CalnehKhalneh, in the land of ShinarShin'ar.11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-irRehovoth Ir, and CalahKhalach,12 and Resen between Nineveh and CalahKhalach--the same is the great city.13 And ''MizraimMitzraim'' begot (20) [[Mitzraite-Ludite Nation|Ludim]], and (21) [['Anamite Nation|'Anamim]], and (22) [[Lehabite Lehavite Nation|LehabimLehavim]], and (23) [[Naphtuhite Naftuchite Nation|NaphtuhimNaftuchim]],14 and (24) [[Pathrusite Nation|Pathrusim]], and ''CasluhimKasluchim''--whence went forth the (25) [[Philistine Nation|Philistines]]--and (26) [[Caphtorite Kaftorite Nation|CaphtorimKaftorim]].

15 And ''Canaan'' begot (27) [[Zidonite Sidonite Nation|ZidonSidon]] his firstborn, and (28) [[Hethite Chethite Nation|HethCheth]];16 and the (29) [[Jebusite Yevusite Nation|JebusiteYevusite]], and the (30) [[Amorite Nation|Amorite]], and the (31) [[Girgashite Nation|Girgashite]];17 and the (32) [[Hivite Chivite Nation|HiviteChivite]], and the (33) [['Arkite Nation|'Arkite]], and the (34) [[Sinite Nation|Sinite]];18 and the (35) [[Arvadite Nation|Arvadite]], and the (36) [[Zemarite Tzemarite Nation|ZemariteTzemarite]], and the (37) [[Hamathite Chamathite Nation|HamathiteChamathite]]; and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.19 And the border of the ''Canaanite'' was from ZidonSidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and ZeboiimTzevoim, unto Lasha'.20 These are the sons of ''HamCham'', after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21 And unto ''Shem'', the father of all the children of ''EberEver'', the elder brother of ''JaphethYafeth'', to him also were children born.22 The sons of ''Shem'': (38) [['Elamite Nation|'Elam]], and (39) [[Asshurite Nation|Asshur]], and ''ArpachshadArpakhshad'', and (40) [[Ludite Nation|Lud]], and ''Aram''.23 And the sons of ''Aram'': (41) [[Uzite Utzite Nation|UzUtz]], and (42) [[Hulite Chulite Nation|HulChul]], and (43) [[Getherite Nation|Gether]], and (44) [[Mashite Nation|Mash]].24 And ''ArpachshadArpakhshad'' begot ''ShelahShelach''; and ''ShelahShelach'' begot ''EberEver''.25 And unto ''EberEver'' were born two sons; the name of the one was (45) [[Pelegite Nation|''Peleg]]''; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was JoktanYoqtan.26 And ''JoktanYoqtan'' begot (4645) [[Almodadite Nation|Almodad]], and (4746) [[Shelephite Shelefite Nation|ShelephShelef]], and (4847) [[Hazarmavethite Chatzarmavethite Nation|HazarmavethChatzarmaveth]], and (4948) [[Jerahite Yerachite Nation|JerahYerach]];27 and (5049) [[Hadoramite Nation|Hadoram]], and (5150) [[Uzalite Nation|Uzal]], and (5251) [[Diklahite Diqlahite Nation|DiklahDiqlah]];28 and (5352) [[Obalite Ovalite Nation|ObalOval]], and (5453) [[Abimaelite Avimaelite Nation|AbimaelAvimael]], and (5554) [[Shebaite Shevaite Nation|ShebaSheva]];29 and (5655) [[Ophirite Ofirite Nation|OphirOfir]], and (5756) [[Havilahite Chavilahite Nation|HavilahChavilah]], and (5857) [[Jobabite Yovavite Nation|JobabYovav]]; all these were the sons of JoktanYoqtan.30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward SepharSefar, unto the mountain of the east.

32 These are the families of the sons of NoahNoach, after their generations, in their nations; and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

10 These are the generations of ''Shem''. ''Shem'' was a hundred years old, and begot ''ArpachshadArpakhshad'' two years after the flood.11 And ''Shem'' lived after he begot ''ArpachshadArpakhshad'' five hundred years, and begot (5958) [[Shemite Shemian Nation|sons and daughters]].12 And ''ArpachshadArpakhshad'' lived five and thirty years, and begot ''Shelah''.13 And ''ArpachshadArpakhhshad'' lived after he begot ''ShelahShelach'' four hundred and three years, and begot (6059) [[Arpachshadite Arpakhshadian Nation|sons and daughters]].14 And ''ShelahShelach'' lived thirty years, and begot ''EberEver''.15 And ''ShelahShelach'' lived after he begot ''EberEver'' four hundred and three years, and begot (6160) [[Shelahite Shelachian Nation|sons and daughters]].16 And ''EberEver'' lived four and thirty years, and begot ''Peleg''.17 And ''EberEver'' lived after he begot ''Peleg'' four hundred and thirty years, and begot (61) [[Everian Nation|sons and daughters (=Joktan)]].18 And ''Peleg'' lived thirty years, and begot ''ReuR'eu''.19 And ''Peleg'' lived after he begot ''ReuR'eu'' two hundred and nine years, and begot (62) [[Pelegite Pelegian Nation|sons and daughters]].20 And ''ReuR'eu'' lived two and thirty years, and begot ''Serug''.21 And ''ReuR'eu'' lived after he begot ''Serug'' two hundred and seven years, and begot (63) [[Reuite Reuian Nation|sons and daughters]].22 And ''Serug'' lived thirty years, and begot ''NahorNachor''.23 And ''Serug'' lived after he begot ''NahorNachor'' two hundred years, and begot (64) [[Serugite Serugian Nation|sons and daughters]].24 And ''NahorNachor'' lived nine and twenty years, and begot ''TerahTerach''.25 And ''NahorNachor'' lived after he begot ''TerahTerach'' a hundred and nineteen years, and begot (65) [[Nahorite Nachorian Nation|sons and daughters]].26 And ''TerahTerach'' lived seventy years, and begot ''AbramAvram'', (66) [[Nahorian Nachorite Nation|NahorNachor]], and ''Haran''.

27 Now these are the generations of ''TerahTerach''. ''TerahTerach'' begot ''AbramAvram'', ''NahorNachor'', and ''Haran''; and Haran begot (67) [[Lotite Nation|Lot]].28 And ''Haran'' died in the presence of his father ''TerahTerach'' in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the ChaldeesCasdim.29 And ''AbramAvram'' and Nahor Nachor took them wives: the name of AbramAvram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, MilcahMilkkah, the daughter of Haran, the father of MilcahMilkkah, and the father of IscahYiskkah.
