Genesis 11
- 1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
- 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 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 And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
- 5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
- 6 And Jehovah 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 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
- 8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
- 9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
- 10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arpachshad two years after the flood:
- 11 and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 12 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah:
- 13 and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
- 15 and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
- 17 and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
- 19 and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
- 21 and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
- 23 and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
- 25 and Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
- 26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
- 27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
- 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
- 29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
- 30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
- 31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
- 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
