Genesis 11:7–32

⁷Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. ⁸And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city. ⁹Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.

¹⁰These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood. ¹¹And Shem lived after he had begotten Arphaxad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. ¹²And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Shelah. ¹³And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. ¹⁴And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber. ¹⁵And Shelah lived after he had begotten Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. ¹⁶And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg. ¹⁷And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters. ¹⁸And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu. ¹⁹And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. ²⁰And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug. ²¹And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. ²²And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor. ²³And Serug lived after he had begotten Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. ²⁴And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah. ²⁵And Nahor lived after he had begotten Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters. ²⁶And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

²⁷And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot. ²⁸And Haran died before the face of his father Terah in the land of his nativity at Ur of the Chaldeans. ²⁹And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, a daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. ³⁰And Sarai was barren: she had no child. ³¹And 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 together out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan, and came as far as Haran, and dwelt there. ³²And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
