The Tower of Babel
11:1-9
11 Now at first, all the people on the earth spoke the same language, so that everyone understood each other. 2 As time passed, they moved from the eastern regions and eventually came to a wide, flat valley in the region of Shinar and stayed there. 3 Then they urged each other, “Come on, let us work together and make bricks from clay and put them in fire to make them hard.” They used bricks to build with instead of stone, and they used tar between the bricks instead of mortar. 4 Then they urged each other, “Come on, we should work together and build a city for us to live in that has a very tall building that reaches high into the sky. That way we will become famous, and we will not separate from each other and live all over the earth.”
5 But one day Yahweh came down from heaven and looked at the city and the very tall building that the people were building. 6 Then he said, “Look, they are one people group, and they all speak the same language. This is only the beginning of what they can do together. Soon they will be able to do anything they plan to do. 7 So we must go down there now and mix up their language so that they are not able to understand what they say to each other.” 8 In that way, Yahweh caused the people to leave from there and live in different places all over the world, so that they had to stop building the city and the tall building. 9 That is why the name of the city is Babel, which means “mixed up,” because that is where Yahweh mixed up the language that everyone on the earth shared, and in that way he made them spread out from there all over the earth.

10 This is the record of Shem’s descendants:
Two years after the flood began, when Shem was 100 years old, he had a son named Arpachshad. 11 After Arpachshad was born, Shem lived another 500 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.
12 When Arpachshad was thirty-five years old, he had a son named Shelah. 13 After Shelah was born, Arpachshad lived another 403 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.
14 When Shelah was thirty years old, he had a son named Eber. 15 After Eber was born, Shelah lived another 403 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.
16 When Eber was thirty-four years old, he had a son named Peleg. 17 After Peleg was born, Eber lived another 430 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.
18 When Peleg was thirty years old, he had a son named Reu. 19 After Reu was born, Peleg lived another 209 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.
20 When Reu was thirty-two years old, he had a son named Serug. 21 After Serug was born, Reu lived another 207 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.
22 When Serug was thirty years old, he had a son named Nahor. 23 After Nahor was born, Serug lived another 200 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.
24 When Nahor was twenty-nine years old, he had a son named Terah. 25 After Terah was born, Nahor lived another 119 years. He also had other sons, as well as daughters.

Terah’s Children, including Abram
11:27-32
27 Here is the history about Terah and his descendants: Terah’s sons were Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran had a son whose name was Lot. 28 While his father was still alive, Haran died in the land where he was born, in the city of Ur where the Chaldean people lived. 29 Meanwhile Abram and Nahor each married a wife. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was Milcah. Milcah and her sister Iscah were the daughters of Nahor’s brother Haran. 30 But Sarai was not able to become pregnant, so she did not have any children.
31 Then one day, Terah gathered his son Abram and his grandson Lot, who was Haran’s son, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, who was Abram’s wife, and they all left from the city of Ur where the Chaldean people lived to travel to the region of Canaan. But when they arrived at the city of Haran, they decided to live there instead. 32 Then many years later, when Terah was 205 years old, he died there in the city of Haran.
