1
And the whole earth[H776] was of one[H259]language[H8193], and of one[H259]speech[H1697].
2
And it came to pass, as they journeyed[H5265] from the east[H6924], that they found[H4672] a plain[H1237] in the land[H776] of Shinar[H8152]; and they dwelt[H3427] there.
3
And they said[H559]one[H376]to[H3051]another[H7453], Go to[H3051], let us make[H3835]brick[H3843], and burn[H8313] them throughly[H8316]. And they had[H1961]brick[H3843] for stone[H68], and slime[H2564]had[H1961] they for morter[H2563].
4
And they said[H559], Go to[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].
5
And the LORD[H3068] came down[H3381] to see[H7200] the city[H5892] and the tower[H4026], which the children[H1121] of men[H120]builded[H1129].
6
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559], Behold, the people[H5971] is one[H259], and they have all one[H259]language[H8193]; and this they begin[H2490] to do[H6213]: and now nothing[H3808] will be restrained[H1219] from them, which they have imagined[H2161] to do[H6213].
7
Go to[H3051], let us go down[H3381], and there confound[H1101] their language[H8193], that[H834] they may not understand[H8085]one[H376] another's speech[H8193].
8
So the LORD[H3068] scattered them abroad[H6327] from thence[H8033] upon the face[H6440] of all the earth[H776]: and they left off[H2308] to build[H1129] the city[H5892].
9
Therefore is the name of it[H8034]called[H7121]Babel[H894]; because the LORD[H3068]did[H6327] there confound[H1101] the language[H8193] of all the earth[H776]: and from thence did[H6327] the LORD[H3068] scatter them abroad[H6327] upon the face[H6440] of all the earth[H776].
10
These are the generations[H8435] of Shem[H8035]: Shem[H8035] was an hundred[H3967]years[H8141]old[H1121], and begat[H3205]Arphaxad[H775] two years[H8141]after[H310] the flood[H3999]:
11
And Shem[H8035]lived[H2421]after[H310] he begat[H3205]Arphaxad[H775]five[H2568]hundred[H3967]years[H8141], and begat[H3205]sons[H1121] and daughters[H1323].

18
And Peleg[H6389]lived[H2421]thirty[H7970]years[H8141], and begat[H3205]Reu[H7466]:
19
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].
20
And Reu[H7466]lived[H2421]two[H8147] and thirty[H7970]years[H8141], and begat[H3205]Serug[H8286]:
21
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].
22
And Serug[H8286]lived[H2421]thirty[H7970]years[H8141], and begat[H3205]Nahor[H5152]:
23
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].
24
And Nahor[H5152]lived[H2421]nine[H8672] and twenty[H6242]years[H8141], and begat[H3205]Terah[H8646]:
25
And Nahor[H5152]lived[H2421]after[H310] he begat[H3205]Terah[H8646] an hundred[H3967] and nineteen[H6240]years[H8141], and begat[H3205]sons[H1121] and daughters[H1323].
26

27
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].
28
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].
29
And Abram[H87] and Nahor[H5152]took[H3947] them wives[H802]: the name[H8034] of Abram[H87]'s wife[H802] was Sarai[H8297]; and the name[H8034] of Nahor[H5152]'s wife[H802], Milcah[H4435], the daughter[H1323] of Haran[H2039], the father[H1] of Milcah[H4435], and the father[H1] of Iscah[H3252].
30
But Sarai[H8297] was barren[H6135]; she had no child[H2056].
31
And Terah[H8646]took[H3947]Abram[H87] his son[H1121], and Lot[H3876] the son[H1121] of Haran[H2039] his son[H1121]'s son[H1121], and Sarai[H8297] his daughter in law[H3618], his son[H1121]Abram[H87]'s 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.
32
And the days[H3117] of Terah[H8646] were two hundred[H3967] and five[H2568]years[H8141]: and Terah[H8646]died[H4191] in Haran[H2771].
