Descendants of Shem

^10 (A)These are the records of the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old when he fathered Arpachshad, two years after the flood; ¹¹ and Shem lived five hundred years after he fathered Arpachshad, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

¹² Arpachshad lived thirty-five years, and fathered Shelah; ¹³ and Arpachshad lived 403 years after he fathered Shelah, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

¹⁴ Shelah lived thirty years, and fathered Eber; ¹⁵ and Shelah lived 403 years after he fathered Eber, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

¹⁶ Eber lived thirty-four years, and fathered Peleg; ¹⁷ and Eber lived 430 years after he fathered Peleg, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

¹⁸ Peleg lived thirty years, and fathered Reu; ¹⁹ and Peleg lived 209 years after he fathered Reu, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

²⁰ Reu lived thirty-two years, and fathered Serug; ²¹ and Reu lived 207 years after he fathered Serug, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

²² Serug lived thirty years, and fathered Nahor; ²³ and Serug lived two hundred years after he fathered Nahor, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

²⁴ Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and fathered ^(B)Terah; ²⁵ and Nahor lived 119 years after he fathered Terah, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

²⁶ Terah lived seventy years, and ^(C)fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

²⁷ Now these are the records of the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and ^(D)Haran fathered ^(E)Lot. ²⁸ Haran died ^[a]during the lifetime of his father Terah in the land of his birth, in ^(F)Ur of the Chaldeans. ²⁹ Abram and ^(G)Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram’s wife was ^(H)Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was ^(I)Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah ^[b]and Iscah. ^30 (J)Sarai was unable to conceive; she did not have a child.

³¹ Now Terah took his son Abram, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they departed ^[c]together from ^(K)Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they went as far as Haran and ^[d]settled there. ³² The days of Terah were 205 years; and Terah died in Haran.

⁴ So Abram went away as the Lord had spoken to him; and ^(A)Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
