The Table of Nations in Genesis 10 fixes the original Canaanite homeland — from Sidon south through Gerar and Gaza along the coast then east through the doomed cities of Sodom Gomorrah Admah and Zeboim to the boundary marker of Lasha east of the Dead Sea.
Genesis 10:19 fixes the original boundaries of the Canaanite homeland in the Table of Nations: "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." The line traced the coast south from Sidon through Gerar and Gaza, then swept east across the southern frontier through the cities of the Plain — Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim — ending at Lasha on the eastern edge. The catalog placed Canaan among the Hamitic peoples in the post-flood genealogy that explains the spread of nations from Noah's three sons.
