Chapter 11

1


 

  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

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.

  And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

  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.
