111And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.+2And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.+3And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.+4And they said, Come, 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.+5And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.+6And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.+7Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.+8So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.+9Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.+

Terah’s Descendants
27Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.+28And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.+29And 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.+30And Sarai was barren; she had no child.+31And 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.+32And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.+
