Genesis 11:17 - Prayer Tents

Universal Language, Babel, Confusion

11AND THE whole earth was of one language and of one accent {and} mode of expression.H776H259H8193H259H1697

2And as they journeyed eastward, they found a plain (valley) in the land of Shinar, and they settled {and} dwelt there.H5265H6924H4672H1237H776H8152H3427

3And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. So they had brick for stone, and slime (bitumen) for mortar.H559H376H7453H3051H3835H3843H8313H8316H3843H68H2564H1961H2563

4And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.H559H3051H1129H5892H4026H7218H8064H6213H8034H6327H6440H776

5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.H3068H3381H7200H5892H4026H1121H120H1129

6And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.H3068H559H5971H259H259H8193H2490H6213H3808H3605H1219H2161H6213

7Come, let Us go down and there confound (mix up, confuse) their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.H3051H3381H1101H8193H834H8085H376H7453H8193

8So the Lord scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of the whole earth, and they gave up building the city.H3068H6327H8033H6440H776H2308H1129H5892

9Therefore the name of it was called Babel--because there the Lord confounded the language of all the earth; and from that place the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of the whole earth.H8034H7121H894H3068H1101H8193H776H6327H3068H6327H6440H776

14When Shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of Eber.H7974H2425H7970H8141H3205H5677

15Shelah lived after Eber was born 403 years and had other sons and daughters.H7974H2421H310H3205H5677H702H3967H8141H7969H8141H3205H1121H1323

16When Eber had lived 34 years, he became the father of Peleg.H5677H2421H702H7970H8141H3205H6389

17And Eber lived after Peleg was born 430 years and had other sons and daughters.H5677H2421H310H3205H6389H702H3967H8141H7970H8141H3205H1121H1323

18When Peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of Reu.H6389H2421H7970H8141H3205H7466

19And Peleg lived after Reu was born 209 years and had other sons and daughters.H6389H2421H310H3205H7466H3967H8141H8672H8141H3205H1121H1323

20When Reu had lived 32 years, he became the father of Serug.H7466H2421H8147H7970H8141H3205H8286

21And Reu lived after Serug was born 207 years and had other sons and daughters.H7466H2421H310H3205H8286H3967H8141H7651H8141H3205H1121H1323

22When Serug had lived 30 years, he became the father of Nahor.H8286H2421H7970H8141H3205H5152

23And Serug lived after Nahor was born 200 years and had other sons and daughters.H8286H2421H310H3205H5152H3967H8141H3205H1121H1323

24When Nahor had lived 29 years, he became the father of Terah.H5152H2421H8672H6242H8141H3205H8646

26After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of [at different times], Abram and Nahor and Haran, [his firstborn].H8646H2421H7657H8141H3205H87H5152H2039

27Now this is the history of the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.H8435H8646H8646H3205H87H5152H2039H2039H3205H3876

28Haran died before his father Terah [died] in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.H2039H4191H6440H1H8646H776H4138H218H3778

29And Abram and Nahor took wives. 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.H87H5152H3947H802H8034H87H802H8297H8034H5152H802H4435H1323H2039H1H4435H1H3252

30But Sarai was barren; she had no child.H8297H6135H2056

31And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together to go from Ur of the Chaldees into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there.H8646H3947H87H1121H3876H1121H2039H1121H1121H8297H3618H1121H87H802H3318H218H3778H3212H776H3667H935H2771H3427

32And Terah lived 205 years; and Terah died in Haran.H3117H8646H3967H8141H2568H8141H8646H4191H2771
