Shinar.
11
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and
Calah,
12
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same
is
a great city.
13
And Mizraim begat
Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of
whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15
And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16
And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and
the Girgasite,
17
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite,
and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
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.
20
These
are
the sons of Ham,
after their families, after their tongues, in their countries,
and
in their nations.
21
Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even
to him were
children
born.
22
The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud,
and Aram.
23
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24
And Arphaxad
begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
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.
26
And Joktan begat
Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, 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
were
the
sons of Joktan.
30
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the
east.
31
These
are
the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their
nations.
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.
CHAPTER 11
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
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.
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.
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.
5
And the L
ORD
came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of
men builded.
6
And the L
ORD
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.
7
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one
another’s speech.
8
So the L
ORD
scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth:
and they left off to build the city.
9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the L
ORD
did
there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the L
ORD
scatter them abroad
upon the face of all the earth.
