| 011:001 | And the whole earth was of one
language, and of one speech. | |
011:002 | 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. |
|
011:003 | And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. |
|
011:004 | 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. |
|
011:005 | And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the
children of men builded. |
|
011:006 | 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. |
|
011:007 | Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech. |
|
011:008 | So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all
the earth: and they left off to build the city. |
|
011:009 | 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. |
|
011:010 | These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and
begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: |
|
011:011 | And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat
sons and daughters. |
|
011:012 | And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: |
|
011:013 | And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years,
and begat sons and daughters. |
|
011:014 | And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: |
|
011:015 | And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and
begat sons and daughters. |
|
011:016 | And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: |
|
011:017 | And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years,
and begat sons and daughters. |
|
011:018 | And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: |
|
011:019 | And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and
begat sons and daughters. |
|
011:020 | And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: |
|
011:021 | And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and
begat sons and daughters. |
|
011:022 | And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: |
|
011:023 | And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat
sons and daughters. |
|
011:024 | And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: |
|
011:025 | And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years,
and begat sons and daughters. |
|
011:026 | And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. |
|
011:027 | Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and
Haran; and Haran begat Lot. |
|
011:028 | And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity,
in Ur of the Chaldees. |
|
011:029 | 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. |
|
011:030 | But Sarai was barren; she had no child. |
|
011:031 | 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. |
|
011:032 | And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died
in Haran.
