Gen.|11:1|-|And the whole earth had one language and the same speech.
Gen.|11:2|-|And as they journeyed east, they found a plain in the land of |1a|Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Gen.|11:3|-|And they said to one another, Come, let us |a|make |1|bricks and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had tar for mortar.
Gen.|11:4|-|And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a |1a|city and a |2|tower whose top is in the |b|heavens; and let us make a |2|name for ourselves, lest we be |c|scattered over the surface of the whole earth.
Gen.|11:5|-|And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men had built.
Gen.|11:6|-|And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and now nothing which they purpose to do will be kept from them.
Gen.|11:7|-|Come, let |1a|Us go down and there |2|confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Gen.|11:8|-|So Jehovah |a|scattered them from there over the surface of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
Gen.|11:9|-|Therefore its name was called |1a|Babel, because there Jehovah confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them over the surface of all the earth.
Gen.|11:10|-|These are the |a|generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old when he begot Arpachshad, two years after the flood.
Gen.|11:11|-|And Shem lived after he had begotten Arpachshad five hundred years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:12|-|And Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and begot Shelah.
Gen.|11:13|-|And Arpachshad lived after he had begotten Shelah four hundred three years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:14|-|And Shelah lived thirty years and begot Eber.
Gen.|11:15|-|And Shelah lived after he had begotten Eber four hundred three years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:16|-|And Eber lived thirty-four years and begot Peleg.
Gen.|11:17|-|And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred thirty years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:18|-|And Peleg lived thirty years and begot Reu.
Gen.|11:19|-|And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred nine years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:20|-|And Reu lived thirty-two years and begot Serug.
Gen.|11:21|-|And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred seven years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:22|-|And Serug lived thirty years and begot Nahor.
Gen.|11:23|-|And Serug lived after he had begotten Nahor two hundred years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:24|-|And Nahor lived twenty-nine years and begot Terah.
Gen.|11:25|-|And Nahor lived after he had begotten Terah one hundred nineteen years, and he begot more sons and daughters.
Gen.|11:26|-|And |a|Terah lived seventy years and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Gen.|11:27|-|Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran begot |a|Lot.
Gen.|11:28|-|And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in |1a|Ur of the |2|Chaldeans.
Gen.|11:29|-|And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves: The name of Abram’s wife was |1a|Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.
Gen.|11:30|-|And Sarai was |a|barren; she had no child.
Gen.|11:31|-|And |1|Terah took Abram his son and |a|Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went out together from |b|Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan, but when they came to |2|Haran they settled there.
Gen.|11:32|-|And the days of Terah were two hundred five years, and Terah died in Haran.
