1 And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech. 2 And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it. 3 And each one said to his neighbour: Come let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar: 4 And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven; and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building. 6 And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. 7 Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city. 9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries. Babel... That is, confusion.
10 These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood. 11 And Sem lived after he begot Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. 12 And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Sale. 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. 14 Sale also lived thirty years, and begot Heber. 15 And Sale lived after he begot Heber, four hundred and three years: and begot sons and daughters. 16 And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg. 17 And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and thirty years: and begot sons and daughters. 18 Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot Reu. 19 And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. 20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Sarug. 21 And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. 22 And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot Nachor. 23 And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. 24 And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Thare. 25 And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters. 26 And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran.
27 And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot. 28 And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees. 29 And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor's wife, Melcha, the daughter of Aran, father of Melcha and father of Jescha. 30 And Sarai was barren, and had no children. 31 And Thare took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Aran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, the wife of Abram his son, and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan: and they came as far as Haran, and dwelt there. 32 And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran.

1 Erat autem terra labii unius, et sermonum eorumdem. 2 Cumque proficiscerentur de oriente, invenerunt campum in terra Senaar, et habitaverunt in eo. 3 Dixitque alter ad proximum suum: Venite, faciamus lateres, et coquamus eos igni. Habueruntque lateres pro saxis, et bitumen pro cæmento: 4 et dixerunt: Venite, faciamus nobis civitatem et turrim, cujus culmen pertingat ad cælum: et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras. 5 Descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrim, quam ædificabant filii Adam, 6 et dixit: Ecce, unus est populus, et unum labium omnibus: cœperuntque hoc facere, nec desistent a cogitationibus suis, donec eas opere compleant. 7 Venite igitur, descendamus, et confundamus ibi linguam eorum, ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui. 8 Atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras, et cessaverunt ædificare civitatem. 9 Et idcirco vocatum est nomen ejus Babel, quia ibi confusum est labium universæ terræ: et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum.
10 Hæ sunt generationes Sem: Sem erat centum annorum quando genuit Arphaxad, biennio post diluvium. 11 Vixitque Sem, postquam genuit Arphaxad, quingentis annis: et genuit filios et filias. 12 Porro Arphaxad vixit triginta quinque annis, et genuit Sale. 13 Vixitque Arphaxad, postquam genuit Sale, trecentis tribus annis: et genuit filios et filias. 14 Sale quoque vixit triginta annis, et genuit Heber. 15 Vixitque Sale, postquam genuit Heber, quadringentis tribus annis: et genuit filios et filias. 16 Vixit autem Heber triginta quatuor annis, et genuit Phaleg. 17 Et vixit Heber postquam genuit Phaleg, quadringentis triginta annis: et genuit filios et filias. 18 Vixit quoque Phaleg triginta annis, et genuit Reu. 19 Vixitque Phaleg, postquam genuit Reu, ducentis novem annis: et genuit filios et filias. 20 Vixit autem Reu triginta duobus annis, et genuit Sarug. 21 Vixit quoque Reu, postquam genuit Sarug, ducentis septem annis: et genuit filios et filias. 22 Vixit vero Sarug triginta annis, et genuit Nachor. 23 Vixitque Sarug, postquam genuit Nachor, ducentis annis: et genuit filios et filias. 24 Vixit autem Nachor viginti novem annis, et genuit Thare. 25 Vixitque Nachor, postquam genuit Thare, centum decem et novem annis: et genuit filios et filias. 26 Vixitque Thare septuaginta annis, et genuit Abram, et Nachor, et Aran.
27 Hæ sunt autem generationes Thare: Thare genuit Abram, Nachor et Aran. Porro Aran genuit Lot. 28 Mortuusque est Aran ante Thare patrem suum, in terra nativitatis suæ, in Ur Chaldæorum. 29 Duxerunt autem Abram et Nachor uxores: nomen uxoris Abram, Sarai: et nomen uxoris Nachor, Melcha filia Aran, patris Melchæ, et patris Jeschæ. 30 Erat autem Sarai sterilis, nec habebat liberos. 31 Tulit itaque Thare Abram filium suum, et Lot filium Aran, filium filii sui, et Sarai nurum suam, uxorem Abram filii sui, et eduxit eos de Ur Chaldæorum, ut irent in terram Chanaan: veneruntque usque Haran, et habitaverunt ibi. 32 Et facti sunt dies Thare ducentorum quinque annorum, et mortuus est in Haran.
