| 1. | And the whole earth had one language, and the same words. |
| 2. | And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there. |
| 3. | And they said one to another, Come on, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. |

| 5. | And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built. |
| 6. | And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing. |
| 7. | Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another`s speech. |
| 8. | And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city. |
| 9. | Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. |

| 29. | And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram`s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor`s wife, Milcah, a daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. |
| 30. | And Sarai was barren: she had no child. |
| 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 together out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan, and came as far as Haran, and dwelt there. |
| 32. | And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran. |
