Genesis 11
-
1
- And the whole earth was of one language, and of one
speech.
-
2
- And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,
that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
-
3
- And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick,
and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they
for morter.
-
4
- And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a
tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we
be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
-
5
- And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men builded.
-
6
- And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they
have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
-
7
- Go to, let us go down, and there confound their
language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
-
8
- So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the
face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
-
9
- Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the
LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did
the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
-
10
- These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred

-
11
- And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred
years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
12
- And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat
Salah:
-
13
- And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and
three years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
14
- And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
-
15
- And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and
three years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
16
- And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
-
17
- And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and
thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
18
- And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
-
19
- And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine
years, and begat sons and daughters.
-
20

nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

and Haran.
-
27

Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
-
28
- And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of
his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
-
29
- And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's
wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran,
the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
-
30
- But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
-
31
- And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran
his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they
went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan;
and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
-
32
- And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years:
and Terah died in Haran.
