10:1And these are births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge.

10:2`Sons of Japheth are Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

10:3And sons of Gomer are Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

10:4And sons of Javan are Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

10:5By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.

10:6And sons of Ham are Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

10:7And sons of Cush are Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah are Sheba and Dedan.

10:8And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;

10:9he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero in hunting before Jehovah.'

10:10And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;

10:11from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,

10:12and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it is the great city.

10:13And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

10:14and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim.

10:15And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, and Heth,

10:16and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

10:17and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

10:18and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered.

10:19And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, in thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; in thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha.

10:20These are sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

10:21As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten:

10:22Sons of Shem are Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

10:23And sons of Aram are Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

10:24And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber.

10:25And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one is Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother's name is Joktan.

10:26And Joktan hath begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

10:27and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

10:28and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

10:29and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these are sons of Joktan;

10:30and their dwelling is from Mesha, in thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.

10:31These are sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.

10:32These are families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.

11:1And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,

11:2and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;

11:3and they say each one to his neighbour, `Give help, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.

11:4And they say, `Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'

11:5And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;

11:6and Jehovah saith, `Lo, the people is one, and one pronunciation is to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.

11:7Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'

11:8And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;

11:9therefore hath one called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.

11:10These are births of Shem: Shem is a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge.

11:11And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:12And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years, and begetteth Salah.

11:13And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:14And Salah hath lived thirty years, and begetteth Eber.

11:15And Salah liveth after his begetting Eber four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:16And Eber liveth four and thirty years, and begetteth Peleg.

11:17And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:18And Peleg liveth thirty years, and begetteth Reu.

11:19And Peleg liveth after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:20And Reu liveth two and thirty years, and begetteth Serug.

11:21And Reu liveth after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:22And Serug liveth thirty years, and begetteth Nahor.

11:23And Serug liveth after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:24And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah.

11:25And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

11:26And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

11:27And these are births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;

11:28and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

11:29And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife is Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife is Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

11:30And Sarai is barren -- she hath no child.

11:31And Terah taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come unto Charan, and dwell there.

11:32And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.
