Bible, King James Version
Genesis
Gen.11
[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 throughly. 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.
