创10:26And Joktan hath begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

创10:27and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

创10:28and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

创10:29and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these are sons of Joktan;

创10:30and their dwelling is from Mesha, in thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.

创10:31These are sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.

创10:32These are families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.

创11:1And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,

创11:2and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;

创11:3and they say each one to his neighbour, 'Give help, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.

创11:4And they say, 'Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'

创11:5And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;

创11:6and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, the people is one, and one pronunciation is to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.

创11:7Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'

创11:8And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;

创11:9therefore hath one called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.

创11:10These are births of Shem: Shem is a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge.

创11:11And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

创11:12And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years, and begetteth Salah.

创11:13And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.
