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}{(H8800)} from the east{H6924}, that they found{H4672}{(H8799)} a plain{H1237} in the land{H776} of Shinar{H8152}; and they dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} there.

And they said{H559}{(H8799)} one{H376} to another{H7453}, Go to{H3051}{(H8798)}, let us make{H3835}{(H8799)} brick{H3843}, and burn{H8313}{(H8799)} them throughly{H8316}. And they had brick{H3843} for stone{H68}, and slime{H2564} had{H1961}{(H8804)} they for morter{H2563}.

And they said{H559}{(H8799)}, Go to{H3051}{(H8798)}, let us build{H1129}{(H8799)} us a city{H5892} and a tower{H4026}, whose top{H7218} may reach unto heaven{H8064}; and let us make{H6213}{(H8799)} us a name{H8034}, lest we be scattered abroad{H6327}{(H8799)} upon the face{H6440} of the whole earth{H776}.

And the LORD{H3068} came down{H3381}{(H8799)} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} the city{H5892} and the tower{H4026}, which the children{H1121} of men{H120} builded{H1129}{(H8804)}.

And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Behold, the people{H5971} is one{H259}, and they have all one{H259} language{H8193}; and this they begin{H2490}{(H8687)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)}: and now nothing{H3808}{H3605} will be restrained{H1219}{(H8735)} from them, which they have imagined{H2161}{(H8799)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)}.

Go to{H3051}{(H8798)}, let us go down{H3381}{(H8799)}, and there confound{H1101}{(H8799)} their language{H8193}, that{H834} they may not understand{H8085}{(H8799)} one{H376} another's{H7453} speech{H8193}.

So the LORD{H3068} scattered them abroad{H6327}{(H8686)} from thence{H8033} upon the face{H6440} of all the earth{H776}: and they left off{H2308}{(H8799)} to build{H1129}{(H8800)} the city{H5892}.

Therefore is the name of it{H8034} called{H7121}{(H8804)} Babel{H894}; because the LORD{H3068} did there confound{H1101}{(H8804)} the language{H8193} of all the earth{H776}: and from thence did{H6327} the LORD{H3068} scatter them abroad{H6327}{(H8689)} upon the face{H6440} of all the earth{H776}.

These are the generations{H8435} of Shem{H8035}: Shem{H8035} was an hundred{H3967} years{H8141} old{H1121}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Arphaxad{H775} two years{H8141} after{H310} the flood{H3999}:

And Shem{H8035} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Arphaxad{H775} five{H2568} hundred{H3967} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Arphaxad{H775} lived{H2425}{(H8804)} five{H2568} and thirty{H7970} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Salah{H7974}:

And Arphaxad{H775} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Salah{H7974} four{H702} hundred{H3967}{H8141} and three{H7969} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Salah{H7974} lived{H2425}{(H8804)} thirty{H7970} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Eber{H5677}:

And Salah{H7974} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Eber{H5677} four{H702} hundred{H3967}{H8141} and three{H7969} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Eber{H5677} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} four{H702} and thirty{H7970} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Peleg{H6389}:

And Eber{H5677} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Peleg{H6389} four{H702} hundred{H3967}{H8141} and thirty{H7970} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Peleg{H6389} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} thirty{H7970} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Reu{H7466}:

And Peleg{H6389} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Reu{H7466} two hundred{H3967}{H8141} and nine{H8672} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Reu{H7466} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} two{H8147} and thirty{H7970} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Serug{H8286}:

And Reu{H7466} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Serug{H8286} two hundred{H3967}{H8141} and seven{H7651} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Serug{H8286} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} thirty{H7970} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Nahor{H5152}:

And Serug{H8286} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Nahor{H5152} two hundred{H3967} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Nahor{H5152} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} nine{H8672} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Terah{H8646}:

And Nahor{H5152} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} after{H310} he begat{H3205}{(H8687)} Terah{H8646} an hundred{H3967}{H8141} and nineteen{H6240}{H8672} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

And Terah{H8646} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} seventy{H7657} years{H8141}, and begat{H3205}{(H8686)} Abram{H87}, Nahor{H5152}, and Haran{H2039}.

Now these are the generations{H8435} of Terah{H8646}: Terah{H8646} begat{H3205}{(H8689)} Abram{H87}, Nahor{H5152}, and Haran{H2039}; and Haran{H2039} begat{H3205}{(H8689)} Lot{H3876}.

And Haran{H2039} died{H4191}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8799)} 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}.

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

And Terah{H8646} took{H3947}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8799)} with them from Ur{H218} of the Chaldees{H3778}, to go{H3212}{(H8800)} into the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}; and they came{H935}{(H8799)} unto Haran{H2771}, and dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} there.

And the days{H3117} of Terah{H8646} were two hundred{H3967}{H8141} and five{H2568} years{H8141}: and Terah{H8646} died{H4191}{(H8799)} in Haran{H2771}.
