Genesis:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
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 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 another '
s 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 .
*

*
And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and 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 and thirty years ,
and begat sons and daughters .
*
And Peleg lived thirty years ,
and begat Reu :
*
And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years ,
and begat sons and daughters .

*
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 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 .
*
But Sarai was barren ;
she had no child .
*
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 .
*
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years :
and Terah died in Haran .
