Genesis 11:8-19

8So the Lord separated the people from one another. They went to live in different lands all over the earth. They stopped building the city for themselves.

9That is why people called the city Babel. It was because the Lord confused all the people of the world and he gave them different languages to speak. From that time, the Lord separated the people from each other so that they lived in different places all over the earth.

10This is the report about Shem and his family. Two years after the deep water went away from the earth, Shem was 100 years old. He became the father of Arphaxad.

11After Arphaxad was born, Shem lived for 500 years. He had other sons and daughters.

12When Arphaxad was 35 years old, he became the father of Shelah.

13After Shelah was born, Arphaxad lived for 403 years. He had other sons and daughters.

14When Shelah was 30 years old, he became the father of Eber.

15After Eber was born, Shelah lived for 403 years. He had other sons and daughters.

16When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.

17After Peleg was born, Eber lived for 430 years. He had other sons and daughters.

18When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu.

19After Reu was born, Peleg lived for 209 years. He had other sons and daughters.
