- 1. ¶ NOW the whole earth spoke one language and with one manner of speech.
- 2. And it came to pass, as men journeyed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sinar; and they settled there.
- 3. And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them with fire. And they had bricks for stone, and slime for mortar.
- 4. Then they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make a name for ourselves, 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 men were building.
- 6. And the LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and they have reasoned to do this thing; and now nothing will prevent them from doing that which they have imagined to do.
- 7. Come, let us go down, and there divide their language so that they may not understand one another’s speech.
- 8. So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth; and they ceased from building the city.
- 9. Therefore they called the name of it Babel; because it was there that the LORD confounded the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
- 10. ¶ These are the descendants of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphakhashar, two years after the flood;
- 11. And Shem lived after he begot Arphakhashar five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
- 12. And Arphakhashar lived thirty-five years, and begot Shalah;
- 13. And Arphakhashar lived after he begot Shalah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
- 14. And Shalah lived thirty years, and begot Eber;
- 15. And Shalah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
- 16. And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg:
- 17. And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.
- 18. And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Rau;
- 19. And Peleg lived after he begot Rau two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
- 20. And Rau lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug;
- 21. And Rau lived after he begot Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
- 22. And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor;
- 23. And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

- 25. And Nahor lived after he begot Terah one hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.
- 26. And Terah lived seventy-five years, and begot Abram, manor, and Haran.
- 27. ¶ Now these are the descendants of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.
- 28. And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
- 29. And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves; 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 Iscah.
- 30. But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
- 31. And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan: and they came as far as Haran, and they settled there.
- 32. And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
