Genesis 11

CLV(i) 1 Now coming is the entire earth to be of one lip, all of one speech. 2 And coming is it in their journey from the east, that they are finding a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwelling there are they. 3 And saying are they, each man to his associate, "Prithee! Let us mold bricks and burn them with a burning.And coming is the brick to be their stone, and asphalt becomes their mortar. 4 And saying are they, "Prithee! Build will we for ourselves a city and a tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we are scattering over the surface of the entire earth. 5 And descending is Yahweh to see the city and the tower which the sons of humanity build. 6 And saying is Yahweh, "Behold! One people is it. And one lip is for them all. And this they started to do! And now nothing will be defended from them of all that they will plan to do. 7 Prithee! Descend will We, and there disintegrate their lip, that they may not hear each man the lip of his associate. 8 And scattering them is Yahweh thence on the surface of the entire earth. And leaving off are they building the city and the tower. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, for there Yahweh disintegrates the lip of the entire earth. And thence Yahweh Elohim scatters them over the surface of the entire earth. 10 And these are the genealogical annals of Shem: Shem is a hundred years of age, and begetting is he Arphaxad two years after the deluge. 11 And living is Shem after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years.

The name of Abram's wife is Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife is Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. 30 Yet coming is Sarai to be barren.
