Genesis 11 — ILT
11Verse 1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one kind of words.Verse 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed toward the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.Verse 3And they said to one another, Go to, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And thus the brick served them for stone, and slime served them for mortar.Verse 4And they said, Go to, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, the top of which may reach unto heaven; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.Verse 5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man were building.Verse 6And the Lord said, Behold, it is one people, and they have all one language, and this is the first thing they undertake to do; and now shall they not be restrained in all which they have imagined to do?Verse 7Go to, let us go down, and confound there their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.Verse 8So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.Verse 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from there did the Lord scatter them abroad over the face of all the earth.Verse 10These are the generations of Shem: Shem, when a hundred years old, begat Arpachshad, two years after the flood.Verse 11And Shem lived after he had begotten Arpachshad five hundred years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 12And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelach.Verse 13And Arpachshad lived after he had begotten Shelach four hundred and three years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 14And Shelach lived thirty years, and begat Eber.Verse 15And Shelach lived after he had begotten Eber four hundred and three years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg.Verse 17And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 18And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu.Verse 19And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 20And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug.Verse 21And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 22And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nachor.Verse 23And Serug lived after he had begotten Nachor two hundred years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 24And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terach.Verse 25And Nachor lived after he had begotten Terach a hundred and nineteen years; and begat sons and daughters.Verse 26And Terach lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nachor, and Haran.Verse 27Now these are the generations of Terach: Terach begat Abram, Nachor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.Verse 28And Haran died before his father Terach in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.Verse 29And Abram and Nachor took themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nachor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Yiscah.Verse 30But Sarai was barren; she had no child.Verse 31And Terach took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Charan, and dwelt there.Verse 32And the days of Terach were two hundred and five years; and Terach died in Charan.
