1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in The Land of Two Rivers (Shinar); and they dwelt there.
3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime for morter.
4And they said, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said, Behold, the people are 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.
7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8So I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
9Therefore is the name of it called Confusion (Babel); because I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) confounded the language of all the earth there: and from there I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
10These are the generations of Renowned (Shem): Renowned (Shem) was an hundred years old, and begat I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) two years after the flood:
11And Renowned (Shem) lived after he begat I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12And I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) lived five and thirty years, and begat Sprout (Salah):
13And I Shall Fail as the Breast: He Cursed the Breast-Bottle (Arphaxad) lived after he begat Sprout (Salah) four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
15And Sprout (Salah) lived after he begat The Region Beyond (Eber) four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
17And The Region Beyond (Eber) lived after he begat Division (Peleg) four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
19And Division (Peleg) lived after he begat Friend (Reu) two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
21And Friend (Reu) lived after he begat Branch (Serug) two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
23And Branch (Serug) lived after he begat Snorting (Nahor) two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
25And Snorting (Nahor) lived after he begat Spirited Station (Terah)an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26And Spirited Station (Terah)lived seventy years, and begat Exhalted Father (Abram), Snorting (Nahor), and Mountianeer (Haran).
27Now these are the generations of Spirited Station (Terah): Spirited Station (Terah) begat Exhalted Father (Abram), Snorting (Nahor), and Mountianeer (Haran); and Mountianeer (Haran) begat Covering (Lot).
28And Mountianeer (Haran) died before his father Spirited Station (Terah) in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29And Exhalted Father (Abram) and Snorting (Nahor) took wives: the name of Exhalted Father's (Abram) wife was Princess (Sarai); and the name of Snorting's (Nahor) wife was Queen (Milcah), the daughter of Mountianeer (Haran), the father of Queen (Milcah), and the father of One Who Looks Forth (Iscah).
31And Spirited Station (Terah) took Exhalted Father (Abram) his son, and Covering (Lot) the son of Mountianeer (Haran) his son's son, and Princess (Sarai) his daughter in law, his son Exhalted Father's (Abram) wife; and they went forth with them from Flame of the Clod Breakers (Ur of the Chaldees), to go into the land of Humbled One (Canaan); and they came unto Mountianeer (Haran), and dwelt there.
32And the days of Spirited Station (Terah) were two hundred and five years: and Spirited Station (Terah) died in Mountianeer (Haran).
