1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speach.Select Genesis 11:1

2And it came to passe as they iourneyed from the East, that they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.Select Genesis 11:2

3And they sayd one to another; Goe to, let vs make bricke, and burne them thorowly. And they had bricke for stone, and slime had they for morter.Select Genesis 11:3

4And they said; Goe to, let vs build vs a city and a tower, whose top may reach vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest we be scattered abroad vpon the face of the whole earth.Select Genesis 11:4

5And the LORD came downe to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.Select Genesis 11:5

6And the LORD said; Behold, the people is one, and they haue all one language: and this they begin to doe: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they haue imagined to doe.Select Genesis 11:6

7Goe to, let vs go downe, and there cōfound their language, that they may not vnderstand one anothers speech.Select Genesis 11:7

8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence, vpon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the Citie.Select Genesis 11:8

9Therefore 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 vpon the face of all the earth.Select Genesis 11:9

10These are the generations of Shem. Shem was an hundred yeres old, and begate Arphaxad two yeeres after the Flood.Select Genesis 11:10

14And Salah liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Eber.Select Genesis 11:14

15And Salah liued, after hee begate Eber, foure hundred and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.Select Genesis 11:15

16And Eber liued foure and thirty yeeres, and begate Peleg.Select Genesis 11:16

17And Eber liued, after hee begate Peleg, foure hundred and thirtie yeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.Select Genesis 11:17

18And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.Select Genesis 11:18

19And Peleg liued, after hee begate Reu, two hundred and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.Select Genesis 11:19

20And Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.Select Genesis 11:20

22And Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.Select Genesis 11:22

23And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundred yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.Select Genesis 11:23

26And Terah liued seuenty yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, & Haran.Select Genesis 11:26

27Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: And Haran begate Lot.Select Genesis 11:27

28And Haran died, before his father Terah in the land of his natiuity, in Ur of the Chaldees.Select Genesis 11:28

29And Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues: the name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.Select Genesis 11:29

30But Sarai was barren; she had no childe.Select Genesis 11:30

31And Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife, and they went foorth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to goe into the land of Canaan: and they came vnto Haran, and dwelt there.Select Genesis 11:31
