| Genesis 11:1 | And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
|
| Genesis 11:2 | And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
|
| Genesis 11:3 | And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
|
| Genesis 11:4 | And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
|
| Genesis 11:5 | And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
|
| Genesis 11:6 | And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
|
| Genesis 11:7 | Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
|
| Genesis 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.
|
| Genesis 11:9 | Therefore was 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.
|

|
| Genesis 11:30 | And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
|
| Genesis 11:31 | 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.
|
| Genesis 11:32 | And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
