GENESIS · Chapter 11
11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
11:2 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.
11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn
them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and bitumen had they for
mortar.
11:4 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.
11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the
children of men built.
11:6 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.
11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that
they may not understand one another's speech.
11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of
all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
11:9 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.
11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years
old, and brings forth Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11:11 And Shem lived after he brings forth Arphaxad five hundred years,
and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and brings forth Salah:
11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he brings forth Salah four hundred and
three years, and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and brings forth Eber:
11:15 And Salah lived after he brings forth Eber four hundred and three
years, and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and brings forth Peleg:
11:17 And Eber lived after he brings forth Peleg four hundred and thirty
years, and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and brings forth Reu:
11:19 And Peleg lived after he brings forth Reu two hundred and nine
years, and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and brings forth Serug:
11:21 And Reu lived after he brings forth Serug two hundred and seven
years, and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and brings forth Nahor:
11:23 And Serug lived after he brings forth Nahor two hundred years,
and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and brings forth Terah:
11:25 And Nahor lived after he brings forth Terah an hundred and nineteen
years, and brings forth sons and daughters.
11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and brings forth Abram, Nahor,
and Haran.
11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah brings forth Abram,
Nahor, and Haran; and Haran brings forth Lot.
11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity,
in Ur of the Chaldees.
11:29 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.
11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
11:31 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.
11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah
died in Haran.
