Genesis 11 — YLT
11Verse 1And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,Verse 2and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;Verse 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.Verse 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.'Verse 5And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;Verse 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.Verse 7Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'Verse 8And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;Verse 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.Verse 10These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge.Verse 11And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 12And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years, and begetteth Salah.Verse 13And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 14And Salah hath lived thirty years, and begetteth Eber.Verse 15And Salah liveth after his begetting Eber four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 16And Eber liveth four and thirty years, and begetteth Peleg.Verse 17And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 18And Peleg liveth thirty years, and begetteth Reu.Verse 19And Peleg liveth after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 20And Reu liveth two and thirty years, and begetteth Serug.Verse 21And Reu liveth after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 22And Serug liveth thirty years, and begetteth Nahor.Verse 23And Serug liveth after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 24And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah.Verse 25And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters.Verse 26And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran.Verse 27And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;Verse 28and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.Verse 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.Verse 30And Sarai is barren — she hath no child.Verse 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.Verse 32And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.
