[1] The whole earth was of one language and of one speech. [2] As they traveled east,‡ they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there. [3] They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar. [4] They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.” [5] Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built. [6] Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do. [7] Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” [8] So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city. [9] Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth. [10] This is the history of the generations of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood. [11] Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [12] Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of Shelah. [13] Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [14] Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber. [15] Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [16] Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg. [17] Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [18] Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu. [19] Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [20] Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug. [21] Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [22] Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor. [23] Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [24] Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah. [25] Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of more sons and daughters. [26] Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. [27] Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot. [28] Haran died in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees, while his father Terah was still alive. [29] Abram and Nahor married wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was also the father of Iscah. [30] Sarai was barren. She had no child. [31] Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there. [32] The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.

[1] And the whole earthH776 was of oneH259 language,H8193 and of oneH259 speech.H1697 [2] And it came to pass, as they journeyedH5265(QalInf) from the east,H6924 that they foundH4672(QalImpf) a plainH1237 in the landH776 of Shinar;H8152 and they dweltH3427(QalImpf) there. [3] And they saidH559(QalImpf) oneH376 to another,H7453 Go to,H3051(QalImpv) let us makeH3835(QalImpf) brick,H3843 and burnH8313(QalImpf) them throughly.H8316 And they had brickH3843 for stone,H68 and slimeH2564 hadH1961(QalPerf) they for morter.H2563 [4] And they said,H559(QalImpf) Go to,H3051(QalImpv) let us buildH1129(QalImpf) us a cityH5892 and a tower,H4026 whose topH7218 [may reach] unto heaven;H8064 and let us makeH6213(QalImpf) us a name,H8034 lest we be scattered abroadH6327(QalImpf) upon the faceH6440 of the whole earth.H776 [5] And the LordH3068 came downH3381(QalImpf) to seeH7200(QalInf) the cityH5892 and the tower,H4026 which the childrenH1121 of menH120 builded.H1129(QalPerf) [6] And the LordH3068 said,H559(QalImpf) Behold, the peopleH5971 [is] one,H259 and they have all oneH259 language;H8193 and this they beginH2490(HiphInf) to do:H6213(QalInf) and now nothingH3808 will be restrainedH1219(NiphImpf) from them, which they have imaginedH2161(QalImpf) to do.H6213(QalInf) [7] Go to,H3051(QalImpv) let us go down,H3381(QalImpf) and there confoundH1101(QalImpf) their language,H8193 thatH834 they may not understandH8085(QalImpf) oneH376 another’sH7453 speech.H8193 [8] So the LordH3068 scattered them abroadH6327(HiphImpf) from thenceH8033 upon the faceH6440 of all the earth:H776 and they left offH2308(QalImpf) to buildH1129(QalInf) the city.H5892 [9] Therefore is the name of itH8034 calledH7121(QalPerf) Babel;H894 because the LordH3068 did there confoundH1101(QalPerf) the languageH8193 of all the earth:H776 and from thence didH6327 the LordH3068 scatter them abroadH6327(HiphPerf) upon the faceH6440 of all the earth.H776 [10] These [are] the generationsH8435 of Shem:H8035 ShemH8035 [was] an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 old,H1121 and
