And the
whole earth was of one language, and of one
speech.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 And the Lord came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children of men builded.
06 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.
07 Go to, let us go down, and there
confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
08 So the Lord scattered them abroad from
thence upon the face of all the earth: and they
left off to build the city.
09 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 years old, and begat Arphaxad two
years after the flood:
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 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and
begat Serug:
21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two
hundred and seven years, and begat sons and
daughters.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat
Nahor:
23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two
hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years,
and begat Terah:
25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an
hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and
daughters.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat
Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah:
Terah begat 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.
