Darby Bible

1And the whole earthH776 had oneH259 languageH8193, and the same wordsH1697. 2And it came to pass as they journeyed from the eastH6924, that they foundH4672 a plainH1237 in the landH776 of ShinarH8152, and dweltH3427 there. 3And they saidH559 oneH376 to another, Come on, let us makeH3835 bricksH3843, and burnH8313 [them] thoroughly. And they had brickH3843 for stoneH68, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4And they saidH559, Come on, let us buildH1129 ourselves a cityH5892 and a towerH4026, the topH7218 of which [may reach] to the heavensH8064; and let us makeH6213 ourselves a nameH8034, lestH6435 we be scatteredH6327 over the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776. 5And Jehovah cameH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 the cityH5892 and the towerH4026 which the children of menH120 builtH1129. 6And Jehovah saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 is oneH259, and have all oneH259 languageH8193; and this have they begunH2490 to do. And nowH6258 will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing. 7ComeH3381, let us goH3381 down, and there confound their languageH8193, that they may not understand oneH376 another's speech. 8And Jehovah scatteredH6327 them thence over the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776. And they left off buildingH1129 the cityH5892. 9ThereforeH3651 was its nameH8034 calledH7121 Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the languageH8193 of the whole earthH776. And Jehovah scatteredH6327 them thence over the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776. 10These are the generationsH8435 of ShemH8035. ShemH8035 was a hundredH3967 yearsH8141 old, and begot ArphaxadH775 two yearsH8141 after the floodH3999. 11And ShemH8035 livedH2421 after he had begotten ArphaxadH775 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 12And ArphaxadH775 livedH2421 thirty-five yearsH8141, and begot ShelahH7974. 13And ArphaxadH775 livedH2421 after he had begotten ShelahH7974 fourH702 hundredH3967 and threeH7969 yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 14And ShelahH7974 livedH2421 thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begot EberH5677. 15And ShelahH7974 livedH2421 after he had begotten EberH5677 fourH702 hundredH3967 and threeH7969 yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 16And EberH5677 livedH2421 thirty-four yearsH8141, and begot PelegH6389. 17And EberH5677 livedH2421 after he had begotten PelegH6389 fourH702 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 18And PelegH6389 livedH2421 thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begot ReuH7466. 19And PelegH6389 livedH2421 after he had begotten ReuH7466 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and nineH8672 yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 20And ReuH7466 livedH2421 thirty-two yearsH8141, and begot SerugH8286. 21And ReuH7466 livedH2421 after he had begotten SerugH8286 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and sevenH7651 yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 22And SerugH8286 livedH2421 thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begot NahorH5152. 23And SerugH8286 livedH2421 after he had begotten NahorH5152 twoH3967 hundredH3967 yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 24And NahorH5152 livedH2421 twenty-nine yearsH8141, and begot TerahH8646. 25And NahorH5152 livedH2421 after he had begotten TerahH8646 a hundredH3967 and nineteen yearsH8141, and begot sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. 26And TerahH8646 livedH2421 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, and begot AbramH87, NahorH5152, and HaranH2039. 27And these are the generationsH8435 of TerahH8646: TerahH8646 begot AbramH87, NahorH5152, and HaranH2039; and HaranH2039 begot LotH3876. 28And HaranH2039 diedH4191 before the faceH6440 of his fatherH1 TerahH8646 in the landH776 of his nativity at Ur of the ChaldeansH3778. 29And AbramH87 and NahorH5152 tookH3947 wivesH802: the nameH8034 of Abram's wifeH802 was SaraiH8297; and the nameH8034 of Nahor's wifeH802, MilcahH4435, a daughterH1323 of HaranH2039, the fatherH1 of MilcahH4435 and the fatherH1 of Iscah. 30And SaraiH8297 was barrenH6135: she had no child. 31And TerahH8646 tookH3947 AbramH87 his sonH1121, and LotH3876 the sonH1121 of HaranH2039 his son's sonH1121, and SaraiH8297 his daughter-in-law, his sonH1121 Abram's wifeH802; and they wentH3318 forthH3318 together out of Ur of the ChaldeansH3778, to goH3318 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and cameH935 as far as HaranH2039, and dweltH3427 there. 32And the daysH3117 of TerahH8646 wereH1961 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141; and TerahH8646 diedH4191 in HaranH2771.
