[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 H3605 earth H776 was H1961 of one H259 language, H8193§ and of one H259 speech. H1697§ [2] And it came to pass, H1961 as they journeyed H5265 from the east, H6924 that they found H4672 a plain H1237 in the land H776 of Shinar; H8152 and they dwelt H3427 there. H8033 [3] And they said H559 one H376 to H413 another, H7453§ Go to, H3051 let us make H3835 brick, H3843 and burn H8313 them throughly. H8316§ And they had H1961 brick H3843 for stone, H68 and slime H2564 had H1961 they for morter. H2563 [4] And they said, H559 Go to, H3051 let us build H1129 us a city H5892 and a tower, H4026 whose top H7218 may reach unto heaven; H8064 and let us make H6213 us a name, H8034 lest H6435 we be scattered abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the whole H3605 earth. H776 [5] And the Lord H3068 came down H3381 to see H7200 H853 the city H5892 and H853 the tower, H4026 which H834 the children H1121 of men H120 builded. H1129 [6] And the Lord H3068 said, H559 Behold, H2005 the people H5971 is one, H259 and they have all H3605 one H259 language; H8193 and this H2088 they begin H2490 to do: H6213 and now H6258 nothing H3808 H3605 will be restrained H1219 from them, which H834 they have imagined H2161 to do. H6213 [7] Go to, H3051 let us go down, H3381 and there H8033 confound H1101 their language, H8193 that H834 they may H8085 not H3808 understand H8085 one H376 another’s H7453 speech. H8193 [8] So the Lord H3068 scattered H6327 them H853 abroad H6327 from thence H8033 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth: H776 and they left off H2308 to build H1129 the city. H5892 [9] Therefore H5921 H3651 is H7121 the name of it H8034 called H7121 Babel; H894ⓘ because H3588 the Lord H3068 did there H8033 confound H1101 the language H8193 of all H3605 the earth: H776 and from thence H8033 did the Lord H3068 scatter them abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth.
