Genesis.
Chapter 11.
And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all. 
And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they dwelt there. 
And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen. 
And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth. 
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built. 
And the Lord said, Behold, there is one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do. 
Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour. 
And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower. 
On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.

And Sala lived an hundred and thirty years, and begot Heber. 
And Sala lived after he had begotten Heber, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. 
And Heber lived an hundred and thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg. 
And Heber lived after he had begotten Phaleg two hundred and seventy years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. 
And Phaleg lived an hundred and thirty years, and begot Ragau. 
And Phaleg lived after he had begotten Ragau, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. 
And Ragau lived an hundred thirty and two years, and begot Seruch. 
And Ragau lived after he had begotten Seruch, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. 
And Seruch lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot Nachor.

And Nachor lived a hundred and seventy-nine years, and begot Tharrha. 
And Nachor lived after he had begotten Tharrha, an hundred and twenty-five years, and begot sons and daughters, and he died. 
And Tharrha lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Arrhan. 
And these are the generations of Tharrha. Tharrha begot Abram and Nachor, and Arrhan; and Arrhan begot Lot. 
And Arrhan died in the presence of Tharrha his father, in the land in which he was born, in the country of the Chaldees. 
And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives, the name of the wife of Abram was Sara, and the name of the wife of Nachor, Malcha, daughter of Arrhan, and he was the father of Malcha, the father of Jescha. 
And Sara was barren, and did not bear children. 
And Tharrha took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Arrhan, the son of his son, and Sara his daughter-in-law, the wife of Abram his son, and led them forth out of the land of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan, and they came as far as Charrhan, and he dwelt there. 
And all the days of Tharrha in the land of Charrhan were two hundred and five years, and Tharrha died in Charrhan.
