Chapter 11
Gene Webster 11:1  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Gene Webster 11:2  And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
Gene Webster 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.
Gene Webster 11:4  And they said, come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Gene Webster 11:5  And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building.
Gene Webster 11:6  And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Gene Webster 11:7  Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gene Webster 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.
Gene Webster 11:9  Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the LORD there confounded the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Gene Webster 11:10  These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] a hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
Gene Webster 11:11  And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:12  And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah.
Gene Webster 11:13  And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:15  And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:16  And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
Gene Webster 11:17  And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:19  And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:20  And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug.
Gene Webster 11:21  And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:23  And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:24  And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah.
Gene Webster 11:25  And Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
Gene Webster 11:26  And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Gene Webster 11:27  Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begat Lot.
Gene Webster 11:28  And Haran died before his father Terah, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Gene Webster 11:29  And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Gene Webster 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 to Haran, and dwelt there.
Gene Webster 11:32  And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
