“And the whole earth(erets=earth,

it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain
in the land of Shinar(Babylonia); and they dwelt there(yashab=to
sit down or still).
And they said one to another, God to, let us make brick, and burn
them throughly.
And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
And they said, God to, let us build(banah=to
build up) us a city(city of busy concourse, enclosed place)and a
tower(migdal=a great tower), whose top(rosh=top, head) may reach unto heaven(shamayin= heaved up things); and let us make us a name(shem=renown),
lest we be scattered(puts=to

enclosed place) and the tower(migdal=a

build up).
And the Lord said, Behold, the people(am=a

and they have all one(echad=one)
language(saphah=lip); and
this they begin to do: and now nothing(lo
kol=not any thing)will be restrained(batsar=to

Go to, let us go down, and there confound(balal=to

that they may not understand(shamea=to

word). So
the Lord scattered(puts=to

of all the earth(erets=earth,
land): and they left off(chadal=to
cease, lleave off) to build(banah(to
build up) the city(of a busy concourse, enclosed place) .
Therefore is the name of it called Babel(babil=gate

scatter) them abroad(shuts=the
outside, without) upon the face of all the earth.”

Genesis

“Terah(turning, wandering)lived seventy years, and begat Abram(father

Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram,
Nahor, and Haran(strong, enlightend); and Haran begat Lot(concealed,
dark). And
Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur(light,
brightness)of the Chaldees.
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.
But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son
of Haran his sons’ son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s
wife; and they went forth with them from Ur(light, brightness)of
the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan(low, flat); and they
came unto Haran(charan=strong, enlightened), and dwelt there(yashab=to
sit down, or still).
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah
died in Haran.
