The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

Gen 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shi´-nar; and they dwelt there.

Gen 11:3 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.

Gen 11:4 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.

Gen 11:5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

Gen 11:6 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.

Gen 11:7 Go to, let Us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

Gen 11:8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Gen 11:9 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.

Gen 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Ar-phax´-ad two years after the flood:

Gen 11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Ar-phax´-ad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:12 And Ar-phax´-ad lived five and thirty years, and begat Sa´-lah:

Gen 11:13 And Ar-phax´-ad lived after he begat Sa´-lah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:14 And Sa´-lah lived thirty years, and begat E´-ber:

Gen 11:15 And Sa´-lah lived after he begat E´-ber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:16 And E´-ber lived four and thirty years, and begat Pe´-leg:

Gen 11:17 And E´-ber lived after he begat Pe´-leg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:18 And Pe´-leg lived thirty years, and begat Re´-u:

Gen 11:19 And Pe´-leg lived after he begat Re´-u two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:20 And Re´-u lived two and thirty years, and begat Se´-rug:

Gen 11:21 And Re´-u lived after he begat Se´-rug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:22 And Se´-rug lived thirty years, and begat Na´-hor:

Gen 11:23 And Se´-rug lived after he begat Na´-hor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:24 And Na´-hor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Te´-rah:

Gen 11:25 And Na´-hor lived after he be-gat Te´-rah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:26 And Te´-rah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Na´-hor, and Ha´ran.

Gen 11:27 Now these are the generations of Te´-rah: Te´-rah begat Abram, Na´hor, and Ha´-ran; and Ha´-ran begat Lot.

Gen 11:28 And Ha´-ran died before his father Te´-rah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chal´-dees.

Gen 11:29 And Abram and Na´-hor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sa´-rai; and the name of Na´-hor’s wife, Mil´-cah, the daughter of Ha´ran, the father of Mil´-cah, and the father of Is´-cah.

Gen 11:30 But Sa´-rai was barren; she had no child.

Gen 11:31 And Te´-rah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Ha´-ran his son’s son, and Sa´-rai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chal´dees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Ha´-ran, and dwelt there.

Gen 11:32 And the days of Te´-rah were two hundred and five years: and Te´rah died in Ha´-ran.
