Genesis 11:10-27

10These are the records of the generations of Shem [from whom Abraham descended]. Shem was a hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad, two years after the flood.

11And Shem lived five hundred years after Arpachshad was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

12When Arpachshad had lived thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah.

13Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years after Shelah was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

14When Shelah had lived thirty years, he became the father of Eber.

15Shelah lived four hundred and three years after Eber was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

16When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he became the father of Peleg.

17And Eber lived four hundred and thirty years after Peleg was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

18When Peleg had lived thirty years, he became the father of Reu.

19And Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after Reu was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

20When Reu had lived thirty-two years, he became the father of Serug.

21And Reu lived two hundred and seven years after Serug was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

22When Serug had lived thirty years, he became the father of Nahor.

23And Serug lived two hundred years after Nahor was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

24When Nahor had lived twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah.

25And Nahor lived a hundred and nineteen years after Terah was born, and he had other sons and daughters.

26After Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram and Nahor and Haran [his firstborn].

27Now these are the records of the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram (Abraham), Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.
