GENESIS 11

THE TOWER OF BABEL 

At this time, everyone on Earth speaks the same language. The people become prideful and want to make a name for themselves by building a giant tower that reaches to the heavens. 

God knows this is only the beginning of their pride and rebellion, so He scatters them and confuses their language, making it difficult for them to communicate. 

The descendants of Shem, Noah’s son, are listed ending with Abram. Abram marries Sarai, who is unable to have children.

Noah → Shem → Arpachshad → Shelah → Eber → Peleg → Reu → Serug → Nahor → Terah → Abram (+ Sarai)
