And the whole earth{H776} was of one{H259} language{H8193} and of one{H259} speech.{H1697}

And it came to pass, as they journeyed{H5265} east,{H6924} that they found{H4672} a plain{H1237} in the land{H776} of Shinar;{H8152} and they dwelt{H3427} there.

And they said{H559} one{H376} to{H3051} another,{H7453} Come,{H3051} let us make{H3835} brick,{H3843} and burn{H8313} them thoroughly.{H8316} And they had brick{H3843} for stone,{H68} and slime{H2564} had{H1961} they for mortar.

And they said,{H559} Come,{H3051} let us build{H1129} us a city,{H5892} and a tower,{H4026} whose top{H7218} [may reach] unto heaven,{H8064} and let us make{H6213} us a name;{H8034} lest we be scattered abroad{H6327} upon the face{H6440} of the whole earth.{H776}

And Jehovah{H3068} came down{H3381} to see{H7200} the city{H5892} and the tower,{H4026} which the children{H1121} of men{H120} builded.{H1129}

And Jehovah{H3068} said,{H559} Behold, they are one{H259} people,{H5971} and they have all one{H259} language;{H8193} and this is what they begin{H2490} to do:{H6213} and now nothing{H3808} will be withholden{H1219} from them, which they purpose{H2161} to do.{H6213}

Come,{H3051} let us go down,{H3381} and there confound{H1101} their language,{H8193} that{H834} they may not understand{H8085} one{H376} another's{H7453} speech.{H8193}

So Jehovah{H3068} scattered them abroad{H6327} from thence{H8033} upon the face{H6440} of all the earth:{H776} and they left off{H2308} building{H1129} the city.{H5892}

Therefore was the name of it{H8034} called{H7121} Babel;{H894} because Jehovah{H3068} did there confound{H1101} the language{H8193} of all the earth:{H776} and from thence did{H6327} Jehovah{H3068} scatter them abroad{H6327} upon the face{H6440} of all the earth.{H776}

These are the generations{H8435} of Shem.{H8035} Shem{H8035} was a hundred{H3967} years{H8141} old,{H1121} and begat{H3205} Arpachshad{H775} two years{H8141} after{H310} the flood:{H3999}

And Peleg{H6389} lived{H2421} thirty{H7970} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} Reu:{H7466}

and Peleg{H6389} lived{H2421} after{H310} he begat{H3205} Reu{H7466} two hundred{H3967} and nine{H8672} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} sons{H1121} and daughters.{H1323}

And Reu{H7466} lived{H2421} two{H8147} and thirty{H7970} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} Serug:{H8286}

and Reu{H7466} lived{H2421} after{H310} he begat{H3205} Serug{H8286} two hundred{H3967} and seven{H7651} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} sons{H1121} and daughters.{H1323}

And Serug{H8286} lived{H2421} thirty{H7970} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} Nahor:{H5152}

and Serug{H8286} lived{H2421} after{H310} he begat{H3205} Nahor{H5152} two hundred{H3967} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} sons{H1121} and daughters.{H1323}

And Nahor{H5152} lived{H2421} nine{H8672} and twenty{H6242} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} Terah:{H8646}

and Nahor{H5152} lived{H2421} after{H310} he begat{H3205} Terah{H8646} a hundred{H3967} and nineteen{H6240} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} sons{H1121} and daughters.{H1323}

And Terah{H8646} lived{H2421} seventy{H7657} years,{H8141} and begat{H3205} Abram,{H87} Nahor,{H5152} and Haran.{H2039}

Now these are the generations{H8435} of Terah.{H8646} Terah{H8646} begat{H3205} Abram,{H87} Nahor,{H5152} and Haran;{H2039} and Haran{H2039} begat{H3205} Lot.{H3876}

And Haran{H2039} died{H4191} before{H6440} his father{H1} Terah{H8646} in the land{H776} of his nativity,{H4138} in Ur{H218} of the Chaldees.{H3778}

And Abram{H87} and Nahor{H5152} took{H3947} them wives:{H802} the name{H8034} of Abram's{H87} wife{H802} was Sarai;{H8297} and the name{H8034} of Nahor's{H5152} wife,{H802} Milcah,{H4435} the daughter{H1323} of Haran,{H2039} the father{H1} of Milcah,{H4435} and the father{H1} of Iscah.{H3252}

And Sarai{H8297} was barren;{H6135} she had no child.{H2056}

And Terah{H8646} took{H3947} Abram{H87} his son,{H1121} and Lot{H3876} the son{H1121} of Haran,{H2039} his son's{H1121} son,{H1121} and Sarai{H8297} his daughter-in-law,{H3618} his son{H1121} Abram's{H87} wife;{H802} and they went forth{H3318} with them from Ur{H218} of the Chaldees,{H3778} to go{H3212} into the land{H776} of Canaan;{H3667} and they came{H935} unto Haran,{H2771} and dwelt{H3427} there.

And the days{H3117} of Terah{H8646} were two hundred{H3967} and five{H2568} years:{H8141} and Terah{H8646} died{H4191} in Haran.{H2771}
