6 And Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people with one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. So now nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand each other’s language.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, for there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth, and there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
10 These are the generations of Shem. When Shem was one hundred years old, he fathered Arphaxad, two years after the flood.
11 And Shem lived five hundred years after he fathered Arphaxad, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
12 When Arphaxad had lived thirty-five years, he fathered Shelah.
