CHART: Origin of the Nations / Descendants of Noah


Here is a chart I worked up based on the genealogies of Genesis chapters ten and eleven for the generations that span between Noah and Abram (Abraham).

Hopefully this will help demonstrate the familial proximity of different nations (people groups) that are found in the early historical books of the Bible.

It is worth noting that Canaan was disinherited in the earth. As a result the land that he and his descendants settled would be promised by God to Abraham and his descendants.

It is also worth noting that the Philistines, who antagonized the Jews  for decades, were themselves not a Canaanite people.

Feel free to use this chart as a teaching tool. I only ask that you leave the small attribution box on the chart.
