Genesis 10:1-11:32

LITV(i) 1 And these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And Gomer's sons were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And Javan's sons were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 The coasts of the nations were divided by these in their lands each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. 6 And Ham's sons were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And Raamah's sons were Sheba and Dedan. 8 And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the land. 9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; so it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth the city, and Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city. 13 And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, who from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim. 15 And Canaan fathered his firstborn Sidon, and Heth, 16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha. 20 These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countries, in their nations. 21 And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. 22 The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And Aram's sons were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber. 25 And two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 And Joktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. These all were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, an eastern mountain. 31 These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations. 32 These were the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations were divided in the earth after the flood. 11 1 And the whole earth was of one lip and of one speech 2 And it happened, as they pulled up stakes from the east, they found a level valley in the land of Shinar. And they lived there. 3 And each one said to his neighbor, Come, let us make brick, and burning burn them. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, Come, let us build a city and a tower with its head in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, that we not be scattered on the face of all the earth. 5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of Adam had built. 6 And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and the lip one to all of them, and this they are beginning to do, and now all which they have purposed to do will not be restrained from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language so that they cannot understand one another's speech. 8 And Jehovah scattered them from there, over the face of all the earth. And they stopped building the city. 9 On account of this its name is called Babel, because Jehovah confused the language of all the earth there. And Jehovah scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth. 10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a son of a hundred years and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood. 11 And after he fathered Arpachshad, Shem lived five hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 12 And Arpachshad lived thirty five years and fathered Salah. 13 And after he fathered Salah, Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years And he fathered sons and daughters. 14 And Salah lived thirty years and fathered Eber. 15 And after he fathered Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 16 And Eber lived thirty four years and fathered Peleg. 17 And after he fathered Peleg, Eber lived four hundred and thirty years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 18 And Peleg lived thirty years and fathered Reu. 19 And after he fathered Reu, Peleg lived two hundred and nine years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 20 And Reu lived thirty two years and fathered Serug. 21 And after he fathered Serug, Reu lived two hundred and seven years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 22 And Serug lived thirty years and fathered Nahor. 23 And after he fathered Nahor, Serug lived two hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 24 And Nahor lived twenty nine years and fathered Terah. 25 And after he fathered Terah, Nahor lived a hundred and nineteen years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 26 And Terah lived seventy years and fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 27 And these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot. 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 30 And Sarai was barren; there was no child to her. 31 And Terah took his son Abram, and Lot, Haran's son, his grandson and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife. And he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there. 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
