ASV

NIV

1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
6 The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
9 That is why it was called Babel —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth.

30 And Sarai was barren; She had no child.
30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.
