a NAME="1">1 And the whole earth was of one language and of
one speech
11:002

found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there
11:003
And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and
burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for
mortar
11:004
And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower,
with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
11:005
And HaShem came down to see the city and the tower, which
the children of men builded
11:006
And HaShem said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they
have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will
be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one
another's speech.
11:008
So HaShem scattered them abroad from thence upon the face
of all the earth; and they left off to build the city
11:009
Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because HaShem
did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did HaShem
scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth
11:010
These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred
years old, and begot Arpachshad two years after the flood
11:011
And Shem lived after he begot Arpachshad five hundred
years, and begot sons and daughters
11:012
And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begot
Shelah
11:013
And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred
and three years, and begot sons and daughters
11:014
And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber
11:015
And Shelah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and
three years, and begot sons and daughters
11:016
And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begot Peleg
11:017
And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and
thirty years, and begot sons and daughters
11:018
And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu
11:019
And Peleg lived after he begot Reu two hundred and nine
years, and begot sons and daughters.
thirty years, and begot Serug
11:021
And Reu lived after he begot Serug two hundred and seven
years, and begot sons and daughters
11:022
And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor
11:023
And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years,
and begot sons and daughters
11:024
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Terah
11:025
And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred and
nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters
11:026
And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and
Haran
11:027
Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram,
Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot
11:028
And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the
land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees
11:029
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
11:030
And Sarai was barren; she had no child
11:031
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
11:032
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and
Terah died in Haran
