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 thoroughly. 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. |
