11:1  And the kol HaAretz was of one language and of devarim achadim (common words).
11:2  And it came to pass, as they migrated from the east, that they found a plain in Eretz Shinar; and they dwelt there.
11:3  And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and bake them thoroughly. And they had brick for even (stone), and bitumen had they for mortar.
11:4  And they said, Come, let us build us an Ir and a Migdal, whose rosh (top) may reach unto Shomayim; and let us make us a shem, otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of kol HaAretz.
11:5  And Hashem came down to see the Ir and the Migdal, which Bnei HaAdam built.
11:6  And Hashem said, See, the Am is echad and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be impossible for them, which they have proposed to do.
11:7  Come, let Us go down, and there confuse their sefat, that they may not understand one another’s language.
11:8  So Hashem scattered them abroad from there upon the face of kol Ha’Aretz; and they left off building the Ir.
11:9  Therefore is the shem of it called Babel; because Hashem did there confuse the language of kol Ha’Aretz; and from there did Hashem scatter them abroad upon the face of kol Ha’Aretz.
11:10  These are the toldot of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and fathered Arpachshad two years after the mabbul;

11:12  And Arpachshad lived five and thirty shanah, and fathered Salah;
11:13  And Arpachshad lived after he fathered Shelach four hundred and three shanim, and fathered banim and banot.
11:14  And Shelach lived thirty shanah, and fathered Ever;
11:15  And Shelach lived after he fathered Ever four hundred and three shanah, and fathered banim and banot.
11:16  And Ever lived four and thirty shanah, and fathered Peleg;
11:17  And Ever lived after he fathered Peleg four hundred and thirty shanah, and fathered banim and banot.
11:18  And Peleg lived thirty shanah, and fathered Reu;
11:19  And Peleg lived after he fathered Reu two hundred and nine shanim, and fathered banim and banot.
11:20  And Reu lived two and thirty shanah, and fathered Serug;
11:21  And Reu lived after he fathered Serug two hundred and seven shanim, and fathered banim and banot.
11:22  And Serug lived thirty shanah, and fathered Nachor;
11:23  And Serug lived after he fathered Nachor two hundred shanah, and fathered banim and banot.
11:24  And Nachor lived nine and twenty shanah, and fathered Terach;
11:25  And Nachor lived after he fathered Terach a hundred and nineteen shanah, and fathered banim and banot.
11:26  And Terach lived seventy shanah, and fathered Avram, Nachor, and Haran.
11:27  Now these are the toldot Terach: Terach fathered Avram, Nachor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot.
11:28  And Haran died before his av Terach in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
11:29  And Avram and Nachor took them nashim: the shem eshet Avram was Sarai; and the shem eshet Nachor was Milcah, the bat Haran Avi Milcah, and Avi Yiskah.
11:30  But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
11:31  And Terach took Avram bno, and ben bno Lot ben Haran, and Sarai his kallah, eshet Avram bno; and they went forth with them from Ur Kasdim, to go into Eretz Kena’an; and they came unto Charan (Haran), and dwelt there.
11:32  And the days of Terach were two hundred and five shanim; and Terach died in Charan (Haran).
