9 Ngalokho igama lawo lathiwa iBabele,* ngokuba uJehova wasanganisa khona ulimi lomhlaba wonke; wabahlakazela emhlabeni wonke.
10 Lezi ziyizizukulwane zikaShemi; uShemi wayeneminyaka eyikhulu, wazala u-Arpakishade iminyaka emibili emva kukazamcolo.
11 Emva kokuzalwa kuka-Arpakishade uShemi wahamba iminyaka engamakhulu ayisihlanu, wazala amadodana namadodakazi.
12 U-Arpakishade wahamba iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nanhlanu, wazala uShela.
13 Emva kokuzalwa kukaShela u-Arpakishade wahamba iminyaka engamakhulu amane nantathu, wazala amadodana namadodakazi.
14 UShela wahamba iminyaka engamashumi amathathu, wazala u-Ebere.
15 Emva kokuzalwa kuka-Ebere uShela wahamba iminyaka engamakhulu amane nantathu, wazala amadodana namadodakazi.
