1	And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. [language: Heb. lip.] [speech: Heb. words]
			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. [from...: or, eastward]
			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 morter. [they said...: Heb. a man said to his neighbour] [burn...: Heb. burn them to a burning]
			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.
			5	And the LORD came down# to see# the city and the tower, which the children of men builded# .
			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# .
			7	Go to# , let us go down# , and there confound# their language, that they may not understand# one another's speech.
			8	So the LORD scattered them abroad# from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off# to build# the city.
			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. [Babel: that is, Confusion]
			10	These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat# Arphaxad two years after the flood:
			11	And Shem lived# after he begat# Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat# sons and daughters.
			12	And Arphaxad lived# five and thirty years, and begat# Salah:
			13	And Arphaxad lived# after he begat# Salah four hundred# and three years, and begat# sons and daughters.
			14	And Salah lived# thirty years, and begat# Eber:
			15	And Salah lived# after he begat# Eber four hundred# and three years, and begat# sons and daughters.
			16	And Eber lived# four and thirty years, and begat# Peleg: [Peleg: Gr. Phalec]
			17	And Eber lived# after he begat# Peleg four hundred# and thirty years, and begat# sons and daughters.
			18	And Peleg lived# thirty years, and begat# Reu:
			19	And Peleg lived# after he begat# Reu two hundred# and nine years, and begat# sons and daughters.
			20	And Reu lived# two and thirty years, and begat# Serug: [Serug: Gr. Saruch]
			21	And Reu lived# after he begat# Serug two hundred# and seven years, and begat# sons and daughters.
			22	And Serug lived# thirty years, and begat# Nahor:

			25	And Nahor lived# after he begat# Terah an hundred# and nineteen# years, and begat# sons and daughters.
			26	And Terah lived# seventy years, and begat# Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
			27	Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat# Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat# Lot.
			28	And Haran died# before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
			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.
			30	But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
			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.
			32	And the days of Terah were two hundred# and five years: and Terah died# in Haran.
