* 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 .
