Chapter 1 Chapter 2

CHAPTER 11

1
Now the whole
world
had
one
language
and a common
form of speech.
2
And
as people journeyed
eastward,
they found
a plain
in the land
of Shinar
and settled
there.
3
And they said
to
one
another,
“Come,
let us make
bricks
and bake
them thoroughly.”
So they used
brick
instead of stone,
and tar
instead of mortar.
4
“Come,”
they said,
“let us build
for ourselves
a city
with a tower
that reaches
to the heavens,
that we may make
a name for ourselves
and not
be scattered
over
the face
of the whole
earth.”
5
Then the LORD
came down
to see
the city
and the tower
that
the sons
of men
were building.
6
And the LORD
said,
“If
they have begun
to do
this
as one
people
speaking the same
language,
then
nothing
they devise
will be beyond
them.
7
Come,
let Us go down
and confuse
their language,
so that
they will not
understand
one
another’s
speech.”
8
So the LORD
scattered them
from there
over
the face
of the whole
earth,
and they stopped
building
the city.
9
That is why
it
is called
Babel,
for
there
the LORD
confused
the language
of the whole
world,
and from that place
the LORD
scattered
them over
the face
of the whole
earth.
10

During
his father

Haran
died
in his native
land,
in Ur
of the Chaldeans.
29
And Abram
and Nahor
took
wives for themselves.
Abram’s
wife
was named
Sarai,
and Nahor’s
wife
was named
Milcah;
she was the daughter
of Haran,
the father
of both Milcah
and Iscah.
30
But Sarai
was
barren;
she had no
children.
31
And Terah
took
his son
Abram,
his grandson
Lot
son
of Haran,
and
his daughter-in-law
Sarai
the wife
of Abram,
and they set out
from Ur
of the Chaldeans
for
the land
of Canaan.
But when they arrived
in
Haran,
they settled
there.
32
Terah
lived
