The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 21 And unto Shem, the father of all And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, the children of Eber, the elder and Riphath, and Togarmah. And brother of Japheth, to him also were the sons of Javan: Elishah, and children born. 22The sons of Shem: Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said: Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.' And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. "Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, and Resen a Heb. japhth. Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. 23And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 2And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber. 25And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah; and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah; and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba; 29and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, unto the mountain of the cast. These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. That is, Division. 32These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. 11 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt. there. And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.' And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they pur-, pose to do. "Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon, the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city. Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. 1 These are the generations of Shem, Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arpad.shad two years after the flood And Snem üved after he begot Arpach had tre hundred years, and begot sols and daughters. 12 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begot Shelah. And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. 14And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber. 15And Shelah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. 16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begot Peleg. "And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters. 18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu. And Peleg lived after he begot Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. 20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begot Serug. 21And Reu lived after he begot Scrug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. 22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor. And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. 24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Terah. And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters. And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran, 27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nanor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot. And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chalders. And Abram and Nahor took them wive the name of Abram's wife was Narai, and the name of Nanor's wife, Mucah, the daughter of Harun, the father of Megh, and the father of Lean.

"And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: 'Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look the LORD said unto upon. 12And it will come to pass, when Abram: 'Get thee out of thy the Egyptians shall see thee, that country, and from thy kindred, and they will say: This is his wife; and from thy father's house, unto the land they will kill me, but thee they will that I will show thee. And I will make keep alive. 13Say, I pray thee, thou of thee a great nation, and I will bless art my sister; that it may be well with thee, and make thy name great; and be me for thy sake, and that my soul may thou a blessing. And I will bless live because of thee.' "And it came them that bless thee, and him that to pass, that, when Abram was come curseth thee will I curse; and in into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the thee shall all the families of the woman that she was very fair. 15And earth be blessed.' So Abram went, the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and as the LORD had spoken unto him; praised her to Pharaoh; and the and Lot went with him; and Abram woman was taken into Pharaoh's was seventy and five years old when house. 16And he dealt well with he departed out of Haran. "And Abram for her sake; and he had sheep, Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his and oxen, and he-asses, and menbrother's son, and all their substance servants, and maid-servants, and shethat they had gathered, and the souls asses, and camels. "And the LORD that they had gotten in Haran; and plagued Pharaoh and his house with they went forth to go into the land of great plagues because of Sarai Abram's Canaan; and into the land of Canaan wife. 18And Pharaoh called Abram, they came. And Abram passed and said: 'What is this that thou hast through the land unto the place of done unto me? why didst thou not Shechem, unto the terebinth of Morch. tell me that she was thy wife?

And there was a strife Hebron, and built there an altar unto between the herdmen of Abram's the LORD. cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land. And Abram said unto Lot: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren. "Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left." 10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar. "So Lot chose him all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly. 14And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and 14 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim,_and the king of Bela-the same is Zoar. All these came as allies unto the vale of Siddim-the same is the Salt Sea. Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashterothkarnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness. 'And they turned back, and came to En-mishpat-the same is Kadeshand smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.

And Abram said: 'Behold, to me Thou hast them in the vale of Siddim; against all. "And the king of Sodom said Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and unto Abram: 'Give me the persons, Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel and take the goods to thyself. 22And king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Abram said to the king of Sodom: Ellasar; four kings against the five.

And Abram said: federate with Abram. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan. 15 And he divided himself against given no seed, and, lo, one born in them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. 16And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. 17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh-the same is the King's Vale. 18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he was priest of God the Most High. 19 And he blessed him, and said: 'Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth; 20and blessed be God the Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.'
