Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
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.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
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.
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole 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.
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
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.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
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.
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
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.

28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.
29 So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
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.
30 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
And Sarai had no child.
31 Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
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.
32 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
And all the years of Terah's life were two hundred and five: and Terah came to his end in Haran.
