| [1]וַֽיְהִ֥י כָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ שָׂפָ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת וּדְבָרִ֖ים אֲחָדִֽים׃ |
[1]And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. |
| [2]וַֽיְהִ֖י בְּנָסְעָ֣ם מִקֶּ֑דֶם וַֽיִּמְצְא֥וּ בִקְעָ֛ה בְּאֶ֥רֶץ שִׁנְעָ֖ר וַיֵּ֥שְׁבוּ שָֽׁם׃ |
[2]And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. |
| [3]וַיֹּאמְר֞וּ אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֗הוּ הָ֚בָה נִלְבְּנָ֣ה לְבֵנִ֔ים וְנִשְׂרְפָ֖ה לִשְׂרֵפָ֑ה וַתְּהִ֨י לָהֶ֤ם הַלְּבֵנָה֙ לְאָ֔בֶן וְהַ֣חֵמָ֔ר הָיָ֥ה לָהֶ֖ם לַחֹֽמֶר׃ |
[3]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. |
| [4]וַיֹּאמְר֞וּ הָ֣בָה ׀ נִבְנֶה־לָּ֣נוּ עִ֗יר וּמִגְדָּל֙ וְרֹאשֹׁ֣ו בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְנַֽעֲשֶׂה־לָּ֖נוּ שֵׁ֑ם פֶּן־נָפ֖וּץ עַל־פְּנֵ֥י כָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
[4]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.' |
| [5]וַיֵּ֣רֶד יְהוָ֔ה לִרְאֹ֥ת אֶת־הָעִ֖יר וְאֶת־הַמִּגְדָּ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנ֖וּ בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָֽם׃ |
[5]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. |
| [6]וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה הֵ֣ן עַ֤ם אֶחָד֙ וְשָׂפָ֤ה אַחַת֙ לְכֻלָּ֔ם וְזֶ֖ה הַחִלָּ֣ם לַעֲשֹׂ֑ות וְעַתָּה֙ לֹֽא־יִבָּצֵ֣ר מֵהֶ֔ם כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָזְמ֖וּ לַֽעֲשֹֽׂות׃ |
[6]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 purpose to do. |
| [7]הָ֚בָה נֵֽרְדָ֔ה וְנָבְלָ֥ה שָׁ֖ם שְׂפָתָ֑ם אֲשֶׁר֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁמְע֔וּ אִ֖ישׁ שְׂפַ֥ת רֵעֵֽהוּ׃ |
[7]Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' |
| [8]וַיָּ֨פֶץ יְהוָ֥ה אֹתָ֛ם מִשָּׁ֖ם עַל־פְּנֵ֣י כָל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיַּחְדְּל֖וּ לִבְנֹ֥ת הָעִֽיר׃ |
[8]So 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city. |
| [9]עַל־כֵּ֞ן קָרָ֤א שְׁמָהּ֙ בָּבֶ֔ל כִּי־שָׁ֛ם בָּלַ֥ל יְהוָ֖ה שְׂפַ֣ת כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וּמִשָּׁם֙ הֱפִיצָ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה עַל־פְּנֵ֖י כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
[9]Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. |
| [10]אֵ֚לֶּה תֹּולְדֹ֣ת שֵׁ֔ם ם בֶּן־מְאַ֣ת שָׁנָ֔ה וַיֹּ֖ולֶד אֶת־אַרְפַּכְשָׁ֑ד שְׁנָתַ֖יִם אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ |
[10]These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arpachshad two years after the flood. |
| [11]וַֽיְחִי־שֵׁ֗ם אַֽחֲרֵי֙ הֹולִידֹ֣ו אֶת־אַרְפַּכְשָׁ֔ד חֲמֵ֥שׁ מֵאֹ֖ות שָׁנָ֑ה וַיֹּ֥ולֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֹֽות׃ |

[18]And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu. |
| [19]וַֽיְחִי־פֶ֗לֶג אַחֲרֵי֙ הֹולִידֹ֣ו אֶת־רְע֔וּ תֵּ֥שַׁע שָׁנִ֖ים וּמָאתַ֣יִם שָׁנָ֑ה וַיֹּ֥ולֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֹֽות׃ |
[19]And Peleg lived after he begot Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. |

[22]And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor. |
| [23]וַיְחִ֣י שְׂר֗וּג אַחֲרֵ֛י הֹולִידֹ֥ו אֶת־נָחֹ֖ור מָאתַ֣יִם שָׁנָ֑ה וַיֹּ֥ולֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֹֽות׃ |
[23]And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. |
| [24]וַיְחִ֣י נָחֹ֔ור תֵּ֥שַׁע וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיֹּ֖ולֶד אֶת־תָּֽרַח׃ |
[24]And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Terah. |
| [25]וַיְחִ֣י נָחֹ֗ור אַחֲרֵי֙ הֹולִידֹ֣ו אֶת־תֶּ֔רַח תְּשַֽׁע־עֶשְׂרֵ֥ה שָׁנָ֖ה וּמְאַ֣ת שָׁנָ֑ה וַיֹּ֥ולֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֹֽות׃ |

[27]Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot. |
| [28]וַיָּ֣מָת הָרָ֔ן עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֶּ֣רַח אָבִ֑יו בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מֹולַדְתֹּ֖ו בְּא֥וּר כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃ |
[28]And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. |
| [29]וַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָ֧ם וְנָחֹ֛ור לָהֶ֖ם נָשִׁ֑ים שֵׁ֤ם אֵֽשֶׁת־אַבְרָם֙ שָׂרָ֔י וְשֵׁ֤ם אֵֽשֶׁת־נָחֹור֙ מִלְכָּ֔ה בַּת־הָרָ֥ן אֲבִֽי־מִלְכָּ֖ה וַֽאֲבִ֥י יִסְכָּֽה׃ |
