Genesis 10

 ¹And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood.

 ²The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

 ³And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

 ⁴And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

 ⁵From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

 ⁶And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

 ⁷And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

 ⁸And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

 ⁹He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!

 ¹⁰And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

 ¹¹From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

 ¹²and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.

 ¹³-- And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

 ¹⁴and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.

 ¹⁵-- And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,

 ¹⁶and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

 ¹⁷and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

 ¹⁸and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.

 ¹⁹And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.

 ²⁰These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

 ²¹And to Shem -- to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

 ²²The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

 ²³And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

 ²⁴-- And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.

 ²⁵And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

 ²⁶And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

 ²⁷and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

 ²⁸and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

 ²⁹and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan.

 ³⁰And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.

 ³¹These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

 ³²These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.

Genesis 11

 ¹And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.

 ²And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.

 ³And they said one to another, Come on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.

 ⁴And they said, Come on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach] to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.

 ⁵And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.

 ⁶And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.

 ⁷Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

 ⁸And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.

 ⁹Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.

 ¹⁰These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.

 ¹¹And Shem lived after he had begotten Arphaxad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

 ¹²And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Shelah.

 ¹⁶And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.

 ¹⁷And Eber lived after he had begotten Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.

 ¹⁸And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.

 ¹⁹And Peleg lived after he had begotten Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.

 ²⁰And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.

 ²¹And Reu lived after he had begotten Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.

 ²²And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.

 ²³And Serug lived after he had begotten Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

 ²⁴And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.

 ²⁵And Nahor lived after he had begotten Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.

 ²⁶And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

 ²⁷And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.

 ²⁸And Haran died before the face of his father Terah in the land of his nativity at Ur of the Chaldeans.

 ²⁹And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, a daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.

 ³⁰And Sarai was barren: she had no child.

 ³¹And 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 together out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan, and came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.

 ³²And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.

Genesis 12

 ¹And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.

 ²And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.

 ³And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

 ⁴And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.

 ⁵And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

 ⁶And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

 ⁷And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.

 ⁸And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.

 ⁹And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.

 ¹⁰And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.

 ¹¹And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.

 ¹²And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.

 ¹³Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.

 ¹⁴And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

 ¹⁵And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

 ¹⁶And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.

 ¹⁷And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

 ¹⁸And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

 ¹⁹Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.

 ²⁰And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

Matthew 4

 ¹Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:

 ²and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.

 ³And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.

 ⁴But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.

 ⁵Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,

 ⁶and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

 ⁷Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

 ⁸Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,

 ⁹and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.

 ¹⁰Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

 ¹¹Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

 ¹²But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:

 ¹³and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,

 ¹⁴that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

 ¹⁵Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:

 ¹⁶-- the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in [the] country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.

 ¹⁷From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

 ¹⁸And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;

 ¹⁹and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

 ²⁰And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.

 ²¹And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;

 ²²and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.

 ²³And [Jesus] went round the whole [of] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

 ²⁴And his fame went out into the whole [of] Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

 ²⁵And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan.
