Genesis 10:1-11:32

CLV(i) 1 And these are the genealogical annals of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons are being born to them after the deluge. 2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Media and Javan and Elisha, and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphas and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tharshish, Kittim and Rodanim. 5 From these are parted the coastlanders of the nations among their lands, each man to his tongue, to their families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush: Sebah and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtechah. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8 And Cush generates Nimrod. He starts to become a master in the earth. 9 He becomes a master hunter before Yahweh Elohim. Therefore is it being said, "As Nimrod, the master hunter before Yahweh. 10 And coming is the beginning of his kingdom to be Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 (From that land fares forth Ashur, and building is he Nineveh and Rehoboth city, and Calah, 12 and Desen between Nineveh and Calah. That city is great.) 13 And Mizraim generates Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim 14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim, whence fare forth the Philistim and Caphthorim. 15 And Canaan generates Sidon, his firstborn, and Het. 16 and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite 17 and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite 18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanite are scattered. 19 And coming is the boundary of the Canaanite to be from Sidon, as you come toward Gerar unto Gaza, as you come toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zebolim, unto Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 21 And to Shem sons are born. Moreover, he is the forefather of all the sons of Eber. He is a brother of Japheth, the eldest. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Ashur, and Arphaxad and Lud and Aram and Cainan. 23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad generates Cainan and Cainan generates Shelach, and Shelach generates Eber. 25 And to Eber two sons are born. The name of one is Peleg, for in his days the land was distributed. And the name of his brother is Joktan. 26 And Joktan generates Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah, 27 and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah, 28 and Obal and Abimael and Sheba, 29 and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab. All these are sons of Joktan. 30 And coming is their dwelling to be from Mesha, till you come toward Sephar, a mountain of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their genealogical annals, in their nations. And from these the coastland nations are parted in the earth after the deluge. 11 1 Now coming is the entire earth to be of one lip, all of one speech. 2 And coming is it in their journey from the east, that they are finding a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwelling there are they. 3 And saying are they, each man to his associate, "Prithee! Let us mold bricks and burn them with a burning.And coming is the brick to be their stone, and asphalt becomes their mortar. 4 And saying are they, "Prithee! Build will we for ourselves a city and a tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we are scattering over the surface of the entire earth. 5 And descending is Yahweh to see the city and the tower which the sons of humanity build. 6 And saying is Yahweh, "Behold! One people is it. And one lip is for them all. And this they started to do! And now nothing will be defended from them of all that they will plan to do. 7 Prithee! Descend will We, and there disintegrate their lip, that they may not hear each man the lip of his associate. 8 And scattering them is Yahweh thence on the surface of the entire earth. And leaving off are they building the city and the tower. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, for there Yahweh disintegrates the lip of the entire earth. And thence Yahweh Elohim scatters them over the surface of the entire earth. 10 And these are the genealogical annals of Shem: Shem is a hundred years of age, and begetting is he Arphaxad two years after the deluge. 11 And living is Shem after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 12 And Arphaxad lives a hundred and thirty-five years, and he is begetting Cainan. 13 And living is Arphaxad after his begetting Cainan four hundred and three years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. And living is Cainan a hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he Shelach. And living is Cainan after his begetting Shelach three hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 14 And living is Shelach a hundred and thirty years and begetting is he Eber. 15 And living is Shelach after his begetting Eber three hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 16 And living is Eber a hundred and thirty-four years and begetting is he Peleg. 17 And living is Eber after his begetting Peleg two hundred and seventy years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 18 And living is Peleg a hundred and thirty years and begetting is he Reu. 19 And living is Peleg after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 20 And living is Reu a hundred and thirty-two years, and begetting is he Serug. 21 And living is Reu after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 22 And living is Serug a hundred and thirty years, and begetting is he Nahor. 23 And living is Serug after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 24 And living is Nahor seventy-nine years, and begetting is he Terah. 25 And living is Nahor after his begetting Terah a hundred and twenty-nine years. And begetting is he sons and daughters. And he died. 26 And living is Terah seventy years, and begetting is he Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 27 And these are the genealogical annals of Terah: Terah begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begets Lot. 28 And Haran died in the presence of Terah, his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 And taking are Abram and Nahor to themselves wives. The name of Abram's wife is Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife is Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. 30 Yet coming is Sarai to be barren. No child is hers. 31 And taking is Terah Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram, his son, and faring forth is he with them from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go to the land of Canaan. And coming are they as far as Charan, and dwelling there are they. 32 And coming are all the days of Terah to be two hundred and five years. And dying is Terah in Charan.
