Genesis 11:1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.
2 As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there.
3 They began saying to each other, "Let's make bricks and harden them with fire." (In this region bricks were used instead of stone, and tar was used for mortar.)
4 Then they said, "Come, let's build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world."
5 But the LORD came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building.
6 "Look!" he said. "The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!
7 Come, let's go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won't be able to understand each other."
8 In that way, the LORD scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city.
9 That is why the city was called Babel, because that is where the LORD confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.
10 This is the account of Shem's family. Two years after the great flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
11 After the birth of Arphaxad, Shem lived another 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
12 When Arphaxad was 35 years old, he became the father of Shelah.
13 After the birth of Shelah, Arphaxad lived another 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
14 When Shelah was 30 years old, he became the father of Eber.
15 After the birth of Eber, Shelah lived another 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
16 When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg.
17 After the birth of Peleg, Eber lived another 430 years and had other sons and daughters.
18 When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu.
19 After the birth of Reu, Peleg lived another 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
20 When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
21 After the birth of Serug, Reu lived another 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
22 When Serug was 30 years old, he became the father of Nahor.
23 After the birth of Nahor, Serug lived another 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
24 When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.
25 After the birth of Terah, Nahor lived another 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
26 When Terah was 70 years old, he had become the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 This is the account of Terah's family. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.
28 But Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth, while his father, Terah, was still living.
29 Meanwhile, Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah. (Milcah and her sister Iscah were daughters of Nahor's brother Haran.)
30 But Sarai was unable to become pregnant and had no children.
31 One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram's wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran's child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there.
32 Terah lived for 205 years and died while still in Haran.
1 And the whole H3605 earth H776 was H1961 of one H259 language, H8193 and of one H259 speech. H1697
2 And it came to pass, H1961 as they journeyed H5265 from the east H4480 H6924 , that they found H4672 a plain H1237 in the land H776 of Shinar; H8152 and they dwelt H3427 there. H8033
3 And they said H559 one H376 to H413 another, H7453 Go to, H3051 let us make H3835 brick, H3843 and burn H8313 them throughly. H8316 And they had H1961 brick H3843 for stone, H68 and slime H2564 had H1961 they for mortar. H2563
4 And they said, H559 Go to, H3051 let us build H1129 us a city H5892 and a tower, H4026 whose top H7218 may reach unto heaven; H8064 and let us make H6213 us a name, H8034 lest H6435 we be scattered abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the whole H3605 earth. H776
5 And the LORD H3068 came down H3381 to see H7200 H853 the city H5892 and the tower, H4026 which H834 the children H1121 of men H120 built. H1129
6 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Behold, H2005 the people H5971 is one, H259 and they have all H3605 one H259 language; H8193 and this H2088 they begin H2490 to do: H6213 and now H6258 nothing H3808 H3605 will be restrained H1219 from H4480 them, which H834 they have imagined H2161 to do. H6213
7 Go to, H3051 let us go down, H3381 and there H8033 confound H1101 their language, H8193 that H834 they may not H3808 understand H8085 one H376 another's H7453 speech. H8193
8 So the LORD H3068 scattered them abroad H6327 H853 from thence H4480 H8033 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth: H776 and they left off H2308 to build H1129 the city. H5892
9 Therefore H5921 H3651 is the name H8034 of it called H7121 Babel; H894 because H3588 the LORD H3068 did there H8033 confound H1101 the language H8193 of all H3605 the earth: H776 and from thence H4480 H8033 did the LORD H3068 scatter them abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth. H776
