Genesis Chapter 11

1And he is becoming, the whole of the earth is an edge* of one, and words* of ones.* 2And he is becoming in their pulling up from the front [east], for they are finding a valley in the Earth of Two-Rivers and are sitting there.3And they are saying, a man to his friend,* `Pay,* we are becoming-whitened* white-ones,* and we are setting-on-fire* for a fiery-one* And the White-one is becoming to-themselves for a stone. And the Foaming-tar* he has become to-themselves for the Foaming-clay.*4And they say, `Pay, we are building for ourselves a city and tower, and his shaking-one in the Dual-Heavens,* and we are making for ourselves a name, so that we are not being dashed-in-pieces upon the faces of the whole of the Earth.` 5And Yahweh is coming down to see אֶת-the city and the Tower which the builders of the Red-one have built; 6And Yahweh is saying, `Behold, a people* of one, and an edge of one to their whole, and this one is their untying to make; and now, nothing is being cut off from them, the whole of which they are planning to make. 7Pay, let us descend and let us overflow their edge there, which they are not hearing a man the edge of his friend.`*

8And Yahweh is dashing-in-pieces אֶת-them from there above the faces of the whole of the Earth, and they are quitting to build the City. 9Upon an upright he has called-out her name Babel, for there has Yahweh overflowed the edge of the whole of the Earth, and from there has Yahweh dashed-them-in-pieces upon the faces of the whole of the Earth.*

10These are births of Name: Name is a builder of a hundred of a duplication and is generating אֶת-Arphaxad double-duplications* the back of the Flow. 11And Name is living back-ones of his generating Arphaxad five hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 12And Arphaxad Living* five and thirty of a duplication and is generating Sent. 13And Arphaxad is living after his generating Sent three duplications and four hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 14And Sent Living thirty of a duplication and is generating Beyond. 15And Sent is living back-ones of his generating Beyond three duplications and four hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 16And Beyond is living four and thirty of a duplication and is generating Division. 17And Beyond is living back-ones of his generating Division thirty of a duplication and four hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 18And Division is living thirty of a duplication and is generating Friend.* 19And Division is living back-ones of his generating Friend nine duplications and double-hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 20And Friend is living two and thirty of a duplication and is generating Knit.* 21And Friend is living back-ones of his generating Knit seven duplications and a double-hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 22And Knit is living thirty of a duplication and is generating Snorter.* 23And Knit is living back-ones of his generating Snorter two hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 24And Snorter is living nine and twenty of a duplication and is generating Terah.* 25And Snorter is living back-ones of his generating Terah nine ten of a duplication and a hundred of a duplication and is generating builders and built-ones. 26And Terah is living seventy of a duplication, and is generating Raised-Father,* Snorter, and Mountain.*

27And these are births of Terah: Terah has begotten Raised-Father, Snorter, and Mountain; and Mountain has begotten Lot;*

28and Mountain is dying upon the faces* of Terah his father, in the Earth of his birth-place,* in Flame of the Chaldeans.*

29And Raised-Father and Snorter are taking to-themselves women,* a name of a woman of Raised-Father is Noble-Lady,* and a name of a woman of Snorter is Queen,* built-one of Mountain, father of Queen and father of Beholder.* 30And she is becoming Noble-Lady uprooted,* nothing is to-herself a וָלָֽד-boy.*

31And Terah is taking אֶת-Raised-Father his builder, and אֶת-Lot builder of Scorched,* builder of his builder,* and אֶת-Noble-Lady his kallah,* woman of Raised-Father his builder; and they are going out את-themselves* from Flame of the Chaldeans, to walk earth-ward* of Humbled. And they are coming in until Scorched, and they are sitting there.* 32And they are becoming the days of Terah five duplications and double-hundred of a duplication and Terah is dying in Scorched.*
