The First Book of Moses
Genesis
10
24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah.
Shelah became the father of Eber. 25 To
Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the
earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph,
Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal,
Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the
sons of Joktan. 30 Their dwelling
extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their
families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah,
by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from
these in the earth after the flood.

1 The whole earth was of one language and of
one speech. 2 As they traveled east,
they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there. 3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make
bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar
for mortar. 4 They said, “Come, let’s
build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s
make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the
whole earth.”
5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the
tower, which the children of men built. 6
Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one
language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from
them, which they intend to do. 7 Come,
let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand
one another’s speech.” 8 So Yahweh
scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped
building the city. 9 Therefore its name
was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth.
From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
10 This is the history of the generations of
Shem: Shem was one hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad
two years after the flood. 11 Shem lived
five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the
father of more sons and daughters.
12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became
the father of Shelah. 13 Arpachshad
lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became
the father of more sons and daughters.
14 Shelah lived thirty years, and became the
father of Eber. 15 Shelah lived four
hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father
of more sons and daughters.
16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the
father of Peleg. 17 Eber lived four
hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father
of more sons and daughters.
18 Peleg lived thirty years, and became the
father of Reu. 19 Peleg lived two
hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of
more sons and daughters.
20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the
father of Serug. 21 Reu lived two
hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father
of more sons and daughters.
22 Serug lived thirty years, and became the
father of Nahor. 23 Serug lived two
hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of
more sons and daughters.
24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the
father of Terah. 25 Nahor lived one
hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the
father of more sons and daughters.
26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the
father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27
Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of
Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot. 28 Haran died in the land of his birth, in Ur of
the Chaldees, while his father Terah was still alive. 29 Abram and Nahor married wives. The name of
Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter
of Haran, who was also the father of Iscah. 30
Sarai was barren. She had no child. 31
Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai
his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur of the Chaldees,
to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there. 32 The days of Terah were two hundred five
years. Terah died in Haran.

Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your
father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation. I will
bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will
curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be
blessed through you.”
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot
went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his
brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people
whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan.
They entered into the land of Canaan. 6 Abram
passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that
time, Canaanites were in the land.
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will
give this land to your offspring.”
He
built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him. 8 He left from there to go to the mountain on
the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on
the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name. 9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the
South.
10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went
down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the
land. 11 When he had come near to enter
Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful
woman to look at. 12 It will happen that
when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill
me, but they will save you alive. 13
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your
sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw
that the woman was very beautiful. 15
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the
woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16
He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male
donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with
great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this
that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’
so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and
go your way.”
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and
they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
13
1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all
that he had, and Lot with him—into the South. 2
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 He went on his journeys from the South as far
as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between
Bethel and Ai, 4 to the place of the
altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s
name. 5 Lot also, who went with Abram,
had flocks, herds, and tents. 6 The land
was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions
were so great that they couldn’t live together. 7 There was strife between the herdsmen of
Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the
Perizzites lived in the land at that time. 8
Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me,
and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives. 9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Please
separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the
right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain
of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you
go to Zoar. 11 So Lot chose the Plain of
the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from
one other. 12 Abram lived in the land of
Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as
Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against
Yahweh.
14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated
from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are,
northward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for I will give all the land which you see to
you and to your offspring forever. 16 I
will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count
the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the land in its length
and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by
the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

1 In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar;
Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,
2 they made war with Bera, king of
Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of
Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar). 3 All these joined together in the valley of
Siddim (also called the Salt Sea). 4
They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year
they rebelled. 5 In the fourteenth year
Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in
Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim, 6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El
Paran, which is by the wilderness. 7
They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck
all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon
Tamar.
