1No mundo todo havia apenas uma língua, um só modo de falar.2Saindo os homens do* Oriente, encontraram uma planície em Sinear e ali se fixaram.3Disseram uns aos outros: “Vamos fazer tijolos e queimá-los bem”. Usavam tijolos em lugar de pedras, e piche em vez de argamassa.4Depois disseram: “Vamos construir uma cidade, com uma torre que alcance os céus. Assim nosso nome será famoso e não seremos espalhados pela face da terra”.5O SENHOR desceu para ver a cidade e a torre que os homens estavam construindo.6E disse o SENHOR: “Eles são um só povo e falam uma só língua, e começaram a construir isso. Em breve nada poderá impedir o que planejam fazer.7Venham, desçamos e confundamos a língua que falam, para que não entendam mais uns aos outros”.8Assim o SENHOR os dispersou dali por toda a terra, e pararam de construir a cidade.9Por isso foi chamada Babel*, porque ali o SENHOR confundiu a língua de todo o mundo. Dali o SENHOR os espalhou por toda a terra.
A Descendência de Sem
10Este é o registro da descendência de Sem: Dois anos depois do Dilúvio, aos 100 anos de idade, Sem gerou* Arfaxade.11E depois de ter gerado Arfaxade, Sem viveu 500 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.12Aos 35 anos, Arfaxade gerou Salá.13Depois que gerou Salá, Arfaxade viveu 403 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.*14Aos 30 anos, Salá gerou Héber.15Depois que gerou Héber, Salá viveu 403 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.16Aos 34 anos, Héber gerou Pelegue.17Depois que gerou Pelegue, Héber viveu 430 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.18Aos 30 anos, Pelegue gerou Reú.19Depois que gerou Reú, Pelegue viveu 209 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.20Aos 32 anos, Reú gerou Serugue.21Depois que gerou Serugue, Reú viveu 207 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.22Aos 30 anos, Serugue gerou Naor.23Depois que gerou Naor, Serugue viveu 200 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.24Aos 29 anos, Naor gerou Terá.25Depois que gerou Terá, Naor viveu 119 anos e gerou outros filhos e filhas.26Aos 70 anos, Terá havia gerado Abrão, Naor e Harã.27Esta é a história da família de Terá: Terá gerou Abrão, Naor e Harã. E Harã gerou Ló.28Harã morreu em Ur dos caldeus, sua terra natal, quando ainda vivia Terá, seu pai.29Tanto Abrão como Naor casaram-se. O nome da mulher de Abrão era Sarai, e o nome da mulher de Naor era Milca; esta era filha de Harã, pai de Milca e de Iscá.30Ora, Sarai era estéril; não tinha filhos.31Terá tomou seu filho Abrão, seu neto Ló, filho de Harã, e sua nora Sarai, mulher de seu filho Abrão, e juntos partiram de Ur dos caldeus para Canaã. Mas, ao chegarem a Harã, estabeleceram-se ali.32Terá viveu 205 anos e morreu em Harã.

The Tower of Babel
1Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.2And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.3And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.4Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.”5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.6And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.7Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”8So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.9Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused* the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

Terah’s Descendants
27Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot.28Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans.29And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah.30Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.31Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there.32The days of Terah were 205 years, and Terah died in Haran.
