+Genesis.
+Chapter 11.
+And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
+And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.
+And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.
+And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.
+And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
+And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.
+Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.
+So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
+So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

+These are the generations of Terah: Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.
+And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.
+And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah.
+And Sarai had no child.
+And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.
+And all the years of Terah's life were two hundred and five: and Terah came to his end in Haran.
