Genesis: 10-11
Ge:10:1: Now these are the generations of the
sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after
the flood.
Ge:10:2: The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog,
and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Ge:10:3: And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and
Riphath, and Togarmah.
Ge:10:4: And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish,
Kittim, and Dodanim.
Ge:10:5: By these were the isles of the Gentiles
divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families,
in their nations.
Ge:10:6: And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim,
and Phut, and Canaan.
Ge:10:7: And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah,
and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and
Dedan.
Ge:10:8: And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be
a mighty one in the earth.
Ge:10:9: He was a mighty hunter before the LORD:
wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Ge:10:10: And the beginning of his kingdom was
Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Ge:10:11: Out of that land went forth Asshur,
and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
Ge:10:12: And Resen between Nineveh and Calah:
the same is a great city.
Ge:10:13: And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim,
and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
Ge:10:14: And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of
whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
Ge:10:15: And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn,
and Heth,
Ge:10:16: And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and
the Girgasite,
Ge:10:17: And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and
the Sinite,
Ge:10:18: And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite,
and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread
abroad.
Ge:10:19: And the border of the Canaanites was
from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom,
and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
Ge:10:20: These are the sons of Ham, after their
families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Ge:10:21: Unto Shem also, the father of all the
children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children
born.
Ge:10:22: The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur,
and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Ge:10:23: And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul,
and Gether, and Mash.
Ge:10:24: And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah
begat Eber.
Ge:10:25: And unto Eber were born two sons: the
name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's
name was Joktan.
Ge:10:26: And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph,
and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,
Ge:10:27: And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Ge:10:28: And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Ge:10:29: And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all
these were the sons of Joktan.
Ge:10:30: And their dwelling was from Mesha, as
thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
Ge:10:31: These are the sons of Shem, after their
families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Ge:10:32: These are the families of the sons of
Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the
nations divided in the earth after the flood.

Ge:11:1: And the whole earth was of one language,
and of one speech.
Ge:11:2: And it came to pass, as they journeyed
from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they
dwelt there.
Ge:11:3: And they said one to another, Go to,
let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for
stone, and slime had they for morter.
Ge:11:4: And they said, Go to, let us build us
a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us
a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Ge:11:5: And the LORD came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Ge:11:6: And the LORD said, Behold, the people
is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and
now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Ge:11:7: Go to, let us go down, and there confound
their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Ge:11:8: So the LORD scattered them abroad from
thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Ge:11:9: Therefore is the name of it called Babel;
because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and
from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Ge:11:10: These are the generations of Shem: Shem
was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
Ge:11:11: And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad
five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:12: And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years,
and begat Salah:
Ge:11:13: And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah
four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:14: And Salah lived thirty years, and begat
Eber:
Ge:11:15: And Salah lived after he begat Eber
four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:16: And Eber lived four and thirty years,
and begat Peleg:
Ge:11:17: And Eber lived after he begat Peleg
four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:18: And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat
Reu:
Ge:11:19: And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two
hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:20: And Reu lived two and thirty years,
and begat Serug:
Ge:11:21: And Reu lived after he begat Serug two
hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:22: And Serug lived thirty years, and begat
Nahor:
Ge:11:23: And Serug lived after he begat Nahor
two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:24: And Nahor lived nine and twenty years,
and begat Terah:
Ge:11:25: And Nahor lived after he begat Terah
an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
Ge:11:26: And Terah lived seventy years, and begat
Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Ge:11:27: Now these are the generations of Terah:
Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Ge:11:28: And Haran died before his father Terah
in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Ge:11:29: And Abram and Nahor took them wives:
the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah,
the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Ge:11:30: But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Ge:11:31: And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot
the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son
Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to
go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Ge:11:32: And the days of Terah were two hundred
and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
