Ge 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Ge 11:2 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.
Ge 11:3 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 mortar.
Ge 11:4 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.
Ge 11:5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the
children of men builded.
Ge 11:6 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.
Ge 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech.
Ge 11:8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all
the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Ge 11:9 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.

Ge 11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years,
and begat sons and daughters.
Ge 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
Ge 11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years,
and begat sons and daughters.
Ge 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
Ge 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and
begat sons and daughters.
Ge 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:

and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Ge 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity,
in Ur of the Chaldees.
Ge 11:29 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.
Ge 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Ge 11:31 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.
Ge 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah
died in Haran.
