10And the beginning of his kingdom were Confusion (Babel), and Long (Erech), and Subtle (Accad), and Fortress of Anu-The Sky God (Calneh), in the land of Two Rivers (Shinar).
11Out of that land went forth A Step (Asshur), and built Abode of Ninus (Nineveh, Ninus conquered most of western Asia, and is credited with taming horses and training the first hunting dogs).and the city Wide Streets (Rehoboth), and Vigor (Calah),

20These are the sons of Hot (Ham), after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21Unto Renowned (Shem) also, the father of all the children of The Region Beyond (Eber), the brother of Open (Japheth) the elder, even to him were children born.

31These are the sons of Renowned (Shem), after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32These are the families of the sons of Rest (Noah), after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
What an amazing project! I found your blog through another's and am thrilled that I did. When I do a Bible study, I always look up the names of the people and cities. It adds so much to the understanding of the passage. Blessings for you and your project!!!
