King James Version Bible

₁And the whole earth _* _h776 was of one _* _h259 language _* _h8193, and of one _* _h259 speech _* _h1697. _{language: Heb. lip. speech: Heb. words}

₂And it came to pass, as they journeyed _* _h5265 _h8800 from the east _* _h6924, that they found _* _h4672 _h8799 a plain _* _h1237 in the land _* _h776 of Shinar _* _h8152; and they dwelt _* _h3427 _h8799 there. _{from...: or, eastward}

₃And they said _* _h559 _h8799 one _* _h376 to another _* _h7453, Go to _* _h3051 _h8798, let us make _* _h3835 _h8799 brick _* _h3843, and burn _* _h8313 _h8799 them throughly _* _h8316. And they had brick _* _h3843 for stone _* _h68, and slime _* _h2564 had _* _h1961 _h8804 they for morter _* _h2563. _{they said...: Heb. a man said to his neighbour burn...: Heb. burn them to a burning}

₄And they said _* _h559 _h8799, Go to _* _h3051 _h8798, let us build _* _h1129 _h8799 us a city _* _h5892 and a tower _* _h4026, whose top _* _h7218 may reach unto heaven _* _h8064; and let us make _* _h6213 _h8799 us a name _* _h8034, lest we be scattered abroad _* _h6327 _h8799 upon the face _* _h6440 of the whole earth _* _h776.

₆And the LORD _* _h3068 said _* _h559 _h8799, Behold, the people _* _h5971 is one _* _h259, and they have all one _* _h259 language _* _h8193; and this they begin _* _h2490 _h8687 to do _* _h6213 _h8800: and now nothing _* _h3808 _* _h3605 will be restrained _* _h1219 _h8735 from them, which they have imagined _* _h2161 _h8799 to do _* _h6213 _h8800.

₇Go to _* _h3051 _h8798, let us go down _* _h3381 _h8799, and there confound _* _h1101 _h8799 their language _* _h8193, that _* _h834 they may not understand _* _h8085 _h8799 one _* _h376 another's _* _h7453 speech _* _h8193.

₈So the LORD _* _h3068 scattered them abroad _* _h6327 _h8686 from thence _* _h8033 upon the face _* _h6440 of all the earth _* _h776: and they left off _* _h2308 _h8799 to build _* _h1129 _h8800 the city _* _h5892.

₉Therefore is the name of it _* _h8034 called _* _h7121 _h8804 Babel _* _h894; because the LORD _* _h3068 did there confound _* _h1101 _h8804 the language _* _h8193 of all the earth _* _h776: and from thence did _* _h6327 the LORD _* _h3068 scatter them abroad _* _h6327 _h8689 upon the face _* _h6440 of all the earth _* _h776. _{Babel: that is, Confusion}

₁₀These are the generations _* _h8435 of Shem _* _h8035: Shem _* _h8035 was an hundred _* _h3967 years _* _h8141 old _* _h1121, and begat _* _h3205 _h8686 Arphaxad _* _h775 two years _* _h8141 after _* _h310 the flood _* _h3999:

₁₆And Eber _* _h5677 lived _* _h2421 _h8799 four _* _h702 and thirty _* _h7970 years _* _h8141, and begat _* _h3205 _h8686 Peleg _* _h6389: _{Peleg: Gr. Phalec}

₂₀And Reu _* _h7466 lived _* _h2421 _h8799 two _* _h8147 and thirty _* _h7970 years _* _h8141, and begat _* _h3205 _h8686 Serug _* _h8286: _{Serug: Gr. Saruch}

₂₄And Nahor _* _h5152 lived _* _h2421 _h8799 nine _* _h8672 and twenty _* _h6242 years _* _h8141, and begat _* _h3205 _h8686 Terah _* _h8646: _{Terah: Gr. Thara}
