CHAP. XI. One language in the world. 3 Babel built. Languages confounded. 10 The generations of Shem. A Nd the whole earth was of one language, and of one fpeech. 2 And it came to pafs as they journeyed from the caft, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they faid one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for ftone, and flime had they for morter. 4 And they faid, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whofe top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name, left we be fcattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to fee the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD faid, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be reftrained 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 anothers fpeech. 8 So the LORD fcattered 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 LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD fcatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. 10 Thefe are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood. 11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat fons and daughters. 12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah. 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begar fons and daughters. 14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber. 15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat fons and daughters. 17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat fons and daughters. 18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu, 19 And Peleg lived after he begar Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat fons and daughters. 20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug. 21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and feven years, and begat fons and daughters. 22. And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor. 23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat fons and daughters. 24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah. 25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat fons and daughters. 26 And Terah lived feventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.. 27 Now thefe are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Uls of the Chaldees. 29 And Abram and Nahor took them! wives: the name of Abrams wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahors wife, Milcah,the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Ifcah. 30 But Sarai was barren; the had no child. 31 And Terah took Abram his fon. and Lot the fon of Harap his fons fon, and Sarai his daughter in law, his fon Abrams wife; and they went forth wid them from ur of the Chaldees, to go inte the land of Canaan; and they came unte Hatan, and dwelt there. 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years and Terah-died in Haran.

So Abram departed, as the LORD had fpoken unto him; and Lot went with him and Abram was feventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brothers fon, and all their fubftance that they had gathered, and the fonls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan, and into the land of Canaan they came. 6 And Abram paffed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and faid, unto thy feed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. 8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the caft of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the weft, and Hai on the eaft: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. 9 And Abram journeyed, going on fill toward the fouth. 10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to fojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. 11 And it came to pafs, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he faid unto Sarai his wife, Behold now I know chat thou art a fair woman to look upon. 12 Therefore it fhall come to pass, when the Egyptians fhall fee thee, that they fhall fay, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will fave thee alive. 13 Say I pray thee, thou art my fifter: that it may be well with me for thy fake; and my foul fhall live because of thee, 14 And it came to pass, that when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fhe was very fair: 15 The princes alfo of Pharaoh faw her, and commended her before Pharaoh and the woman was taken into Pharaohs house. 16 And he entreated Abram well for her fake: and he had theep, and oxen,and he-affes, and men-fervants, and maidfervants, and fhe-afhes, and camels. And the LORD plagued Pharaoh houfe with great plagues, because Abrams wife. Abram and Lot difagree. 18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and faid, What is this that thou haft done unto me? Why didft thou not tell me that fhe was thy wife? 19 Why faidft thou, She is my fifter? fo I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore, behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him and they fent him a way, and his wife, and all that he had.

Ne and his wife, and all that he Nd Abram went up out of Egypt, had, and Lot with him, into the fouth. 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in filver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journeys from the fouth, even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; 4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the firft: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 5 And Lot allo which went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their fubftance was great, fo that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was a ftrife between the herdmen of Abrams cattle, and the herdmen of Lots cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 8 And Abram faid unto Lot, Let there be no ftrife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen: for we be brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thy felf,I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and be held all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD deftroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comeft unto Zoar. 11 Then Lot chofe him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed eaft and they feparated themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain,and pitched his tent toward Sodom, 13 But the men of Sodom were wick cd, outh-ward, and eaft-ward, and rd. or all the land which thou feeft, to came to pass in the days of phel king of Shinar, Arioch far, Chedorlaomer king of Tidal king of nations, 11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. 12 And they took Lor, Abrams bro thers fon (who dwelt in Sodom) and his goods, and departed. 13 And there came one that had efcaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Efhcol, and brother of Aner: and thefe were confederate with Abram. 14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained fervants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and purfued them unto Dan. 15 And he divided himself against them, he and his fervants by night, and fmote them, and purfued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damafcus. 16 And he brought back all the goods, and alfo brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women alfo, and the people. -fe made war with Bera king 17 And the king of Sodom went out nd with Birha king of Go- to meet him (after his return from the ab king of Admah, and She-flaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the of Zeboiim, and the king kings that were with him) at the valley h is Zoar. of Shaveh, which is the kings dale. e were joyned together in ddim, which is the falt-fea. years they ferved Chedorn the thirteenth year they the fourteenth year came r, and the kings that were d fmote the Rephaims in naim, and the Zuzims in : Emims in Shaveh Kiria orites in their mount Seir, which is by the wilderness. returned and came to En1 is Kadesh, and fmote all the Amalekites, and alfo that dwelt in Hazezon went out the king of Song of Gomorrah, and the 1, and the king of Seboi 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the prieft of the most high God. 19 And he bleffed him and faid, Bleffed be Abram of the most high God póffeffor of heaven and earth: 20 And bleffed be the moft high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
