Genesis 11

1 Hele Menneskeheden havde eet Tungemål og samme Sprog.

2 Da de nu drog østerpå, traf de på en Dal i Sinear, og der slog de sig ned.

3 Da sagde de til hverandre: "Kom, lad os stryge Teglsten og brænde dem godt!" De brugte nemlig Tegl som Sten og Jordbeg som Kalk.

4 Derpå sagde de: "Kom, lad os bygge os en By og et Tårn, hvis Top når til Himmelen, og skabe os et Navn, for at vi ikke skal spredes ud over hele Jorden!"

5 Men HE EN steg ned for at se Byen og Tårnet, som Menneskebørnene byggede,

6 og han sagde: "Se, de er eet Folk og har alle eet Tungemål; og når de nu først er begyndt således, er intet, som de sætter sig for, umuligt for dem;

7 lad os derfor stige ned og forvirre deres Tungemål der, så de ikke forstår hverandres Tungemål!"

8 Da spredte HE EN dem fra det Sted ud over hele Jorden, og de opgav at bygge Byen.

9 Derfor kaldte man den Babel, thi der forvirrede HE EN al Jordens Tungemål, og derfra spredte HE EN dem ud over hele Jorden.

10 Dette er Sems Slægtebog. Da Sem var 100 År gammel, avlede han Arpaksjad, to År efter Vandfloden;

11 og efter at Sem havde avlet Arpaksjad, levede han 500 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

12 Da Atpaksjad havde levet 35 År, avlede han Sjela;

13 og efter at Arpaksjad havde avlet Sjela, levede han 403 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

14 Da Sjela havde levet 30 År, avlede han Eber;

15 og efter at Sjela havde avlet Eber, levede han 403 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

16 Da Eber havde levet 34 År, avlede han Peleg;

17 og efter at Eber havde avlet Peleg, levede han 430 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

18 Da Peleg havde levet 30 År, avlede han e'u;

19 og efter at Peleg havde avlet e'u, levede han 209 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

20 Da e'u havde levet 32 År, avlede han Serug;

21 og efter at e'u havde avlet Serug, levede han 207 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

22 Da Serug havde levet 30 År, avlede han Nakor;

23 og efter at Serug havde avlet Nakor, levede han 200 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

24 Da Nakor havde levet 29 År, avlede han Tara;

25 og efter at Nakor havde avlet Tara, levede han 119 År og avlede Sønner og Døtre.

26 Da Tara havde levet 70 År, avlede han Abram, Nakor og Haran.

27 Dette er Taras Slægtebog. Tara avlede Abram, Nako og Haran. Haran avlede Lot.

28 Haran døde i sin Fader Taras Levetid i sin Hjemstavn i Ur Kasdim.

29 Abram og Nakor tog sig Hustruer; Abrams Hustru hed Saraj, Nakors Milka, en Datter af Haran, Milkas og Jiskas Fader.

30 Men Saraj var ufrugtbar og havde ingen Børn.

31 Tara tog sin Søn Abram, sin Sønnesøn Lot, Harans Søn, og sin Sønnekone Saraj, hans Søn Abrams Hustru, og førte dem fra Ur Kasdim for at begive sig til Kana'ans Land; men da de kom til Karan, slog de sig ned der.

32 Taras Levetid var 205 År; og Tara døde i Karan.

1242. That by the two sons of Eber, who were named Peleg and Joktan, the two kinds of worship of that church, internal and external, are signified-by Peleg the internal worship and by Joktan the external worship-is evident especially from this, that in the internal sense this second Ancient Church is signified by Eber and the Hebrew nation, and that in every church there is an internal and an external. For without the internal it is not and cannot be called a church, but an idolatry. Therefore, “sons” being here predicated of the church, it is evident that by one son the internal of the church is signified, and by the other the external; as in various other places in the Word; and as is signified by Adah and Zillah, the two wives of Lamech (see n. 409); by Leah and Rachel; by Jacob and Israel, of whom hereafter; and by others. The posterity of Joktan is treated of in this chapter; that of Peleg in the following chapter.

Genesis 10

1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

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

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

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

5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

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

11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

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

21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

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

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

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

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

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
