  19. 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
  20. 20 These the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, in their nations.

  1. [Gen 6:4-6] 4 [h5303]The Nephilim were on the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Alahym came in unto the daughters of the Adam, and they bare to them, these, [h1368]the mighty ones which of eternity, men[h376]][אנשׁי] of the name. 5 And YAHUAH saw that great evil of the Adam in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all of the day. 6 And YAHUAH [h5162]regretted that he had made the Adam  on the earth, and it grieved Him at his heart.
