Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
and they say each one to his neighbour, 'Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
And they say, 'Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.

27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. 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 Iscah.
And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
And Sarai is barren — she hath no child.
31 Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
And Terah taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come unto Charan, and dwell there.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.
