And the whole earthH776 was of oneH259 languageH8193, and of oneH259 speechH1697. {language: Heb. lip.} {speech: Heb. words}
And it came to pass, as they journeyedH5265 from the eastH6924, that they foundH4672 a plainH1237 in the landH776 of ShinarH8152; and they dweltH3427 there. {from…: or, eastward}
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, Go toH3051, let us makeH3835 brickH3843, and burnH8313 them throughlyH8316. And they had brickH3843 for stoneH68, and slimeH2564 hadH1961 they for morterH2563. {they said…: Heb. a man said to his neighbour} {burn…: Heb. burn them to a burning}
And they saidH559, Go toH3051, let us buildH1129 us a cityH5892 and a towerH4026, whose topH7218 may reach unto heavenH8064; and let us makeH6213 us a nameH8034, lest we be scattered abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776.
And the LORDH3068 came downH3381 to seeH7200 the cityH5892 and the towerH4026, which the childrenH1121 of menH120 buildedH1129.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 is oneH259, and they have all oneH259 languageH8193; and this they beginH2490 to doH6213: and now nothingH3808+H3605 will be restrainedH1219 from them, which they have imaginedH2161 to doH6213.
Go toH3051, let us go downH3381, and there confoundH1101 their languageH8193, thatH834 they may not understandH8085 oneH376 another'sH7453 speechH8193.
So the LORDH3068 scattered them abroadH6327 from thenceH8033 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776: and they left offH2308 to buildH1129 the cityH5892.
Therefore is the name of itH8034 calledH7121 BabelH894; because the LORDH3068 did there confoundH1101 the languageH8193 of all the earthH776: and from thence didH6327 the LORDH3068 scatter them abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776. {Babel: that is, Confusion}

And SerugH8286 livedH2421 thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 NahorH5152:

And TerahH8646 livedH2421 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 AbramH87, NahorH5152, and HaranH2039.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of TerahH8646: TerahH8646 begatH3205 AbramH87, NahorH5152, and HaranH2039; and HaranH2039 begatH3205 LotH3876.
And HaranH2039 diedH4191 beforeH6440 his fatherH1 TerahH8646 in the landH776 of his nativityH4138, in UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778.
And AbramH87 and NahorH5152 tookH3947 them wivesH802: the nameH8034 of Abram'sH87 wifeH802 was SaraiH8297; and the nameH8034 of Nahor'sH5152 wifeH802, MilcahH4435, the daughterH1323 of HaranH2039, the fatherH1 of MilcahH4435, and the fatherH1 of IscahH3252.
