Chapter 11
| 1 | And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. |
| 2 | 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. |
| 3 | 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. |
| 4 | 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. |
| 5 | And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. |
| 6 | 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. |
| 7 | Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. |
| 8 | So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. |
| 9 | 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. |
| 10 | These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: |
| 11 | And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 12 | And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: |
| 13 | And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 14 | And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: |
| 15 | And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 16 | And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: |
| 17 | And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 18 | And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: |
| 19 | And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 20 | And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: |
| 21 | And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 22 | And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: |
| 23 | And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 24 | And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: |
| 25 | And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. |
| 26 | And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. |
| 27 | Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. |
| 28 | And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. |
| 29 | 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. |
| 30 | But Sarai was barren; she had no child. |
| 31 | 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. |
| 32 | And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. |
