10:1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

10:2The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

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

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

10:5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

10:6And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

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

10:8And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

10:9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

10:10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

10:11Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

10:12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

10:13And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

10:14And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

10:15And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

10:16And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

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

10:18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

10:19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

10:20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

10:21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

10:22The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

10:23And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

10:24And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

10:25And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

10:26And Joktan begat 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 were the sons of Joktan.

10:30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

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

10:32These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

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

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

11:3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

11:4And 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.

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

11:6And 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.

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

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

11:9Therefore 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 upon the face of all the earth.

11:10These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

11:11And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:12And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:

11:13And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:14And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:

11:15And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

11:17And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:18And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:

11:19And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:20And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:

11:21And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:22And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:

11:23And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:24And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:

11:25And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

11:26And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

11:27Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

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

11:29And 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.

11:30But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

11:31And 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.

11:32And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
