Midras Kejadian 10:18: Bereshit Rabbah

וְאֶת־הָֽאַרְוָדִ֥י וְאֶת־הַצְּמָרִ֖י וְאֶת־הַֽחֲמָתִ֑י וְאַחַ֣ר נָפֹ֔צוּ מִשְׁפְּח֖וֹת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃

orang Arwad, orang Zemar, dan orang Hamat. Sesudah itu kaum-kaum orang Kanaan menyebar.

Bereshit Rabbah

“And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Ḥet” (Genesis 10:15).
“And the Yevusites, and the Emorites, and the Girgashites” (Genesis 10:16).
“And the Hivites, and the Arkites, and the Sinites” (Genesis 10:17).
“And the Arvadites, and the Tzemarites, and the Ḥamatites and then the families of the Canaanites dispersed” (Genesis 10:18).

“And Canaan begot Sidon… And the Hivites” – Ḥaldin; “and the Arkites” – Arka of Lebanon; “the Sinites” – Orthosia; “the Arvadites” – Aradus; “the Tzemarites” – Homs. Why does it call them Tzemarites? Yehuda bar Rabbi said: It is because they work with wool [tzemer]. The Ḥamatites – Epiphania.
“The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you approach Gerar, until Gaza as you approach Sodom and Gomorrah and Adma and Tzevoyim, until Lasha” (Genesis 10:19).
“The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon…[until Lasha] ” – until Callirhoe.
