01:010:023 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
01:010:024 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
01:010:025 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.
01:010:026 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and
Jerah,
01:010:027 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
01:010:028 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
01:010:029 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of
Joktan.
01:010:030 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a
mount of the east.
01:010:031 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their
tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
01:010:032 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.
01:011:001 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
01:011:002 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.
01:011:003 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and
burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime
had they for morter.
01:011:004 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.
01:011:005 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which
the children of men builded.
01:011:006 And the LORD 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.
01:011:007 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that
they may not understand one another's speech.
01:011:008 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of
all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
01:011:009 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did
there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence
did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the
earth.
01:011:010 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years
old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
01:011:011 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and
begat sons and daughters.
01:011:012 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
01:011:013 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three
years, and begat sons and daughters.
01:011:014 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
