Genesis
10
Gen
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.
Gen
10:2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal,
Meshech, and Tiras.
Gen
10:3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gen
10:4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Gen
10:5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their
lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their
nations.
Gen
10:6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
Gen
10:7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca.
The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Gen
10:8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one
in the earth.
Gen
10:9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said,
"Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."
Gen
10:10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and
Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Gen
10:11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built
Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
Gen
10:12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great
city).
Gen
10:13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim,
Naphtuhim,
Gen
10:14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from),
and Caphtorim.
Gen
10:15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,
Gen
10:16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,
Gen
10:17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
Gen
10:18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the
families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
Gen
10:19 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.
Gen
10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their
languages, in their lands, in their nations.
Gen
10:21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder
brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
Gen
10:22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
Gen
10:23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Gen
10:24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the
father of Eber.
Gen
10:25 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.
Gen
10:26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth,
Jerah,
Gen
10:27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
Gen
10:28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
Gen
10:29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
Gen
10:30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the
mountain of the east.
Gen
10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their
languages, in their lands, after their nations.
Gen
10:32 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.

Genesis
11
Gen
11:1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Gen
11:2 It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in
the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
Gen
11:3 They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and
burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used
tar for mortar.
Gen
11:4 They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a
tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name,
lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
Gen
11:5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the
children of men built.
Gen
11:6 Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have
all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will
be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
Gen
11:7 Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that
they may not understand one another's speech."
Gen
11:8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of
all the earth. They stopped building the city.
Gen
11:9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh
confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered
them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
Gen
11:10 This is the history of the generations of Shem. Shem was one
hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after
the flood.
Gen
11:11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of
Arpachshad, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of
Shelah.
Gen
11:13 Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the
father of Shelah, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:14 Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber:
Gen
11:15 and Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the
father of Eber, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg.
Gen
11:17 Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the
father of Peleg, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:18 Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu.
Gen
11:19 Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father
of Reu, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.
Gen
11:21 Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father
of Serug, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:22 Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor.
Gen
11:23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of
Nahor, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah.
Gen
11:25 Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the
father of Terah, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Gen
11:26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram,
Nahor, and Haran.
Gen
11:27 Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah
became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father
of Lot.
Gen
11:28 Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth,
in Ur of the Chaldees.
Gen
11:29 Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was
Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran
who was also the father of Iscah.
Gen
11:30 Sarai was barren. She had no child.
Gen
11:31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son,
and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth
from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to
Haran and lived there.
Gen
11:32 The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in
Haran.

Matthew
6
Mat
6:1 "Be careful that you don't do your charitable giving before
men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father
who is in heaven.
Mat
6:2 Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don't sound a trumpet
before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you,
they have received their reward.
Mat
6:3 But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know
what your right hand does,
Mat
6:4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father
who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Mat
6:5 "When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for
they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of
the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell
you, they have received their reward.
Mat
6:6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and
having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your
Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Mat
6:7 In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for
they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Mat
6:8 Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things
you need, before you ask him.
Mat
6:9 Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept
holy.
Mat
6:10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so
on earth.
Mat
6:11 Give us today our daily bread.
Mat
6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Mat
6:13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.'
Mat
6:14 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you.
Mat
6:15 But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will
your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat
6:16 "Moreover when you fast, don't be like the hypocrites,
with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen
by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received
their reward.
Mat
6:17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
Mat
6:18 so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your
Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will
reward you.
Mat
6:19 "Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where
moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
Mat
6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don't break through and
steal;
Mat
6:21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Mat
6:22 "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is
sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Mat
6:23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of
darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how
great is the darkness!
Mat
6:24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the
one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise
the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon.
Mat
6:25 Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you
will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you
will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than
clothing?
Mat
6:26 See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't
you of much more value than they?
Mat
6:27 "Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his
lifespan?
Mat
6:28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin,
Mat
6:29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not
dressed like one of these.
Mat
6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today
exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more
clothe you, you of little faith?
Mat
6:31 "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?',
'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
Mat
6:32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly
Father knows that you need all these things.
Mat
6:33 But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all
these things will be given to you as well.
Mat
6:34 Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be
anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
