The First Booke of Moses 11

0 1 One language in the world. 3 The building of Babel. 5 The confusion of tongues. 10 The generations of Shem. 27 The generations of Terah the father of Abram. 31 Terah goeth from Vr to Haran. XI ¶ [fn][fn][fn]And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speach. 2 And it came to passe as they iourneyed from the East, that they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 [fn][fn]And they sayd one to another; Goe to, let vs make bricke, and burne them thorowly. And they had bricke for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said; Goe to, let vs build vs a city and a tower, whose top may reach vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest we be scattered abroad vpon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came downe to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said; Behold, the people is one, and they haue all one language: and this they begin to doe: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they haue imagined to doe. 7 Goe to, let vs go downe, and there cōfound their language, that they may not vnderstand one anothers speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence, vpon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the Citie. 9 [fn]Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad vpon the face of all the earth. 10 ¶ [fn]These are the generations of Shem. Shem was an hundred yeres old, and begate Arphaxad two yeeres after the Flood. 11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arphaxad, fiue hundred yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 12 And Arphaxad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Salah. 13 And Arphaxad liued, after he begate Salah, foure hundred and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 14 And Salah liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Eber. 15 And Salah liued, after hee begate Eber, foure hundred and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 16 [fn][fn]And Eber liued foure and thirty yeeres, and begate Peleg. 17 And Eber liued, after hee begate Peleg, foure hundred and thirtie yeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu. 19 And Peleg liued, after hee begate Reu, two hundred and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 20 [fn]And Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug. 21 And Reu liued, after hee begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 22 And Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor. 23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundred yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters. 24 [fn]And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah. 25 And Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundred & nineteene yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 26 [fn]And Terah liued seuenty yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, & Haran. 27 ¶ Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: And Haran begate Lot. 28 And Haran died, before his father Terah in the land of his natiuity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 29 And Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues: the name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 30 But Sarai was barren; she had no childe. 31 [fn]And Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife, and they went foorth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to goe into the land of Canaan: and they came vnto Haran, and dwelt there. 32 And the dayes of Terah, were two hundred and fiue yeres: and Terah died in Haran.
