[1]Andthe whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
[2]Andit came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
[3]Andthey said one to another, come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
[4]Andthey said, come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
[5]Andthe LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building.
[6]Andthe 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]Come,let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
[8]Sothe LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
[9]Thereforeis the name of it called Babel, because the LORD there confounded the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
[10]Theseare the generations of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
[11]AndShem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
[12]AndArphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah.
[13]AndArphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
[14]AndSalah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
[15]AndSalah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
[16]AndEber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
[17]AndEber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
[18]AndPeleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
[19]AndPeleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
[20]AndReu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug.
[21]AndReu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
[22]AndSerug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
[23]AndSerug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
[24]AndNahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah.
[25]AndNahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
[26]AndTerah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
[27]Nowthese are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begat Lot.
[28]AndHaran died before his father Terah, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
[29]AndAbram 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]ButSarai was barren; she had no child.
[31]AndTerah 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 to Haran, and dwelt there.
[32]Andthe days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
