* And all the earth was one lip , and there was one language to all . * And it came to pass as they moved from the east , they found a plain in the land of Senaar , and they dwelt there . * And a man said to his neighbour , Come , let us make bricks and bake them with fire . And the brick was to them for stone , and their mortar was bitumen . * And they said , Come , let us build to ourselves a city and tower , whose top shall be to heaven , and let us make to ourselves a name , before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth . * And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower , which the sons of men built . * And the Lord said , Behold , there is one race , and one lip of all , and they have begun to do this , and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do . * Come , and having gone down let us there confound their tongue , that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour . * And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth , and they left off building the city and the tower . * On this account its name was called Confusion , because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth , and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth . * And these are the generations of Sem : and Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad , the second year after the flood . * And Sem lived , after he had begotten Arphaxad , five hundred years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . * And Arphaxad lived a hundred and thirty-five years , and begot Cainan . * And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Cainan , (note :)Alex . 480 (:note ) four hundred years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . And Cainan lived a hundred and thirty years and begot Sala ; and Canaan lived after he had begotten Sala , three hundred and thirty years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . * And Sala lived an hundred and thirty years , and begot Heber . * And Sala lived after he had begotten Heber , three hundred and thirty years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . * And Heber lived an hundred and thirty-four years , and begot Phaleg . * And Heber lived after he had begotten Phaleg (note :)Alex . 370 (:note ) two hundred and seventy years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . * And Phaleg lived and hundred and thirty years , and begot Ragau . * And Phaleg lived after he had begotten Ragau , two hundred and nine years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . * And Ragau lived and hundred thirty and two years , and begot Seruch . * And Raau lived after he had begotten Seruch , two hundred and seven years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . * And Seruch lived a hundred and thirty years , and begot Nachor . * And Seruch lived after he had begotten Nachor , two hundred years , and begot sons and daughters , and died . * And Nachor lived (note :)Alex . 79 years (:note ) a hundred and seventy-nine years , and begot Tharrha . * And Nachor lived after he had begotten Tharrha , (note :)Alex . 129 (:note ) an hundred and twenty-five years , and begot sons and daughters , and he died . * And Tharrha lived seventy years , and begot Abram , and Nachor , and Arrhan . * And these are the generations of Tharrha . Tharrha begot Abram and Nachor , and Arrhan ; and Arrhan begot Lot . * And Arrhan died in the presence of Tharrha his father , in the land in which he was born , in the country of the Chaldees . * And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives , the name of the wife of Abram was Sara , (note :)There seems to be no note of the date of Abram ’s marriage with Sara (:note ) and the name of the wife of Nachor , Malcha , daughter of Arrhan , and he was the father of Malcha , the father of Jescha . * And Sara was barren , and did not bear children . * And Tharrha took Abram his son , and Lot the son Arrhan , the son of his son , and Sara his daughter-in-law , the wife of Abram his son , and led them forth out of the land of the Chaldees , to go into the land of Chanaan , and they came as far as Charrhan , and he dwelt there . * And all the days of Tharrha in the land of Charrhan were two hundred and five years , and Tharrha died in Charrhan .
