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 through­ly. 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 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.
