*
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah ,
Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth :
and unto them were sons born after the flood .
*
The sons of Japheth ;
Gomer ,
and Magog ,
and Madai ,
and Javan ,
and Tubal ,
and Meshech ,
and Tiras .
*
And the sons of Gomer ;
Ashkenaz #
Ashk @
naz #,
and Riphath ,
and Togarmah .
*
And the sons of Javan ;
Elishah ,
and Tarshish ,
Kittim ,
and Dodanim .
*
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands ;
every one after his tongue ,
after their families ,
in their nations .
*
And the sons of Ham ;
Cush ,
and Mizraim ,
and Phut ,
and Canaan K @

*
And the sons of Cush ;
Seba ,
and Havilah ,
and Sabtah ,
and Raamah Ra #
mah #,
and Sabtecha :
and the sons of Raamah Ra #
mah #;
Sheba ,
and Dedan .
*
And Cush begat Nimrod :
he began to be a mighty one in the earth .
*
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD :
wherefore it is said ,
Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD .
*
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel ,
and Erech ,
and Accad ,
and Calneh ,
in the land of Shinar Shin #
ar #.
*
Out of that land went forth Asshur ,
and builded Nineveh ,
and the city Rehoboth ,
and Calah ,
*
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah :
the same is a great city .
*
And Mizraim begat Ludim ,
and Anamim ,
and Lehabim ,
and Naphtuhim ,
*
And Pathrusim ,
and Casluhim , (
out of whom came Philistim , )
and Caphtorim .
*
And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn ,
and Heth ,
*
And the Jebusite ,
and the Amorite ,
and the Girgasite ,
*
And the Hivite ,
and the Arkite ,
and the Sinite ,
*
And the Arvadite ,
and the Zemarite ,
and the Hamathite :
and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad .
*
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon ,
as thou comest to Gerar ,
unto Gaza ;
as thou goest ,
unto Sodom ,
and Gomorrah ,
and Admah ,
and Zeboim Ts @
bo #
iym #,
even unto Lasha .
*
These are the sons of Ham ,
after their families ,
after their tongues ,
in their countries ,
and in their nations .
*
Unto Shem also ,
the father of all the children of Eber ,
the brother of Japheth the elder ,
even to him were children born .
*
The children of Shem ;
Elam ,
and Asshur ,
and Arphaxad ,
and Lud ,
and Aram .
*
And the children of Aram ;
Uz ,
and Hul ,
and Gether ,
and Mash .
*
And Arphaxad begat Salah ;
and Salah begat Eber .
*
And unto Eber were born two sons :
the name of one was Peleg ;
for in his days was the earth divided ;
and his brothers name was Joktan .
*
And Joktan begat Almodad ,
and Sheleph ,
and Hazarmaveth ,
and Jerah ,
*
And Hadoram ,
and Uzal ,
and Diklah ,
*
And Obal ,
and Abimael #
Abiyma #
el #,
and Sheba ,
*
And Ophir ,
and Havilah ,
and Jobab :
all these were the sons of Joktan .
*
And their dwelling was from Mesha ,
as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east .
*
These are the sons of Shem ,
after their families ,
after their tongues ,
in their lands ,
after their nations .
*
These are the families of the sons of Noah ,
after their generations ,
in their nations :
and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood .
*
And the whole earth was of one language ,
and of one speech .
*
And it came to pass ,
as they journeyed from the east ,
that they found a plain in the land of Shinar Shin #
ar #;
and they dwelt there .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower ,
which the children of men builded .
*
And the LORD said ,
Behold ,
the people is one ,
and they have all one language ;
and this they begin to do :
and now nothing lo #
will be restrained from them ,
which they have imagined to do .
*
Go to ,
let us go down ,
and there confound their language ,
that they may not understand one anothers speech .
*
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth :
and they left off to build the city .
*
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 .
*
These are the generations of Shem :
Shem was an hundred years old ,
and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood :
*
And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years ,
and begat Salah :
*
And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred #
H8141and three years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Salah lived thirty years ,
and begat Eber :
*
And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred #
H8141and three years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Eber lived four and thirty years ,
and begat Peleg :
*
And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred #
H8141and thirty years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Peleg lived thirty years ,
and begat Reu R @#
uw #:
*
And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred #
H8141and nine years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Reu lived two and thirty years ,
and begat Serug :
*
And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred #
H8141and seven years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Serug lived thirty years ,
and begat Nahor :
*
And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years ,
and begat Terah :
*
And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred #
H8141and nineteen #
H8672years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Terah lived seventy years ,
and begat Abram ,
Nahor ,
and Haran .
*
Now these are the generations of Terah :
Terah begat Abram ,
Nahor ,
and Haran ;
and Haran begat Lot .
*
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity ,
in Ur of the Chaldees .
*
And Abram and Nahor took them wives :
the name of Abrams wife was Sarai ;
and the name of Nahors wife ,
Milcah ,
the daughter of Haran ,
the father of Milcah ,
and the father of Iscah .
*
But Sarai was barren ;
she had no child .
*
And Terah took Abram his son ,
and Lot the son of Haran his sons son ,
and Sarai his daughter in law ,
his son Abrams wife ;
and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees ,
to go into the land of Canaan K @
na #
an #;
and they came unto Haran ,
and dwelt there .
*
And the days of Terah were two hundred #
H8141and five years :
and Terah died in Haran .
*
Now the LORD had said unto Abram ,
Get thee out of thy country ,
and from thy kindred ,
and from thy fathers house ,
unto a land that I will shew thee :
*
And I will make of thee a great nation ,
and I will bless thee ,
and make #
thy name great ;
and thou shalt be a blessing :
*
And I will bless them that bless thee ,
and curse him that curseth thee :
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed .
*
So Abram departed ,
as the LORD had spoken unto him ;
and Lot went with him :
and Abram was seventy #
H8141and five years old when he departed out of Haran .
*
And Abram took Sarai his wife ,
and Lot his brothers son ,
and all their substance that they had gathered ,
and the souls that they had gotten in Haran ;
and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan K @
na #
an #;
and into the land of Canaan they came .
*
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem ,
unto the plain of Moreh .
And the Canaanite was then in the land .
*
And the LORD appeared unto Abram ,
and said ,
Unto thy seed will I give this land :
and there builded he an altar unto the LORD ,
who appeared unto him .
*
And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel Beyth -#
El #,
and pitched his tent ,
having Bethel Beyth -#
El #
on the west ,
and Hai on the east :
and there he builded an altar unto the LORD ,
and called upon the name of the LORD .
*
And Abram journeyed ,
going on still toward the south .
*
And there was a famine in the land :
and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there ;
for the famine was grievous in the land .
*
And it came to pass ,
when he was come near to enter into Egypt ,
that he said unto Sarai his wife ,
Behold now ,
I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon mar #
eh #:
*
Therefore it shall come to pass ,
when the Egyptians shall see thee ,
that they shall say ,
This is his wife :
and they will kill me ,
but they will save thee alive .
*
Say ,
I pray thee ,
thou art my sister :
that it may be well with me for thy sake ;
and my soul shall live because of thee .
*
And it came to pass ,
that ,
when Abram was come into Egypt ,
the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair .
*
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her ,
and commended her before Pharaoh Par #
oh #:
and the woman was taken into Pharaohs house .
*
And he entreated #
Abram well for her sake :
and he had sheep tso #
n #,
and oxen ,
and he asses ,
and menservants ,
and maidservants ,
and she asses ,
and camels .
*
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abrams wife .
*
And Pharaoh called Abram ,
and said ,
What is this that thou hast done unto me ?
why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife ?
*
Why saidst thou ,
She is my sister ?
so I might have taken her to me to wife :
now therefore behold thy wife ,
take her ,
and go thy way .
*
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him :
and they sent him away ,
and his wife ,
and all that he had .
*
And Abram went up out of Egypt ,
he ,
and his wife ,
and all that he had ,
and Lot with him ,
into the south .
