¹⁰ These are the descendants of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he had a son, Arpachshad. ¹¹ After that, he lived another 500 years and had other children. ¹² When Arpachshad was 35 years old, he had a son, Shelah; ¹³ after that, he lived another 403 years and had other children. ¹⁴ When Shelah was 30 years old, he had a son, Eber; ¹⁵ after that, he lived another 403 years and had other children. ¹⁶ When Eber was 34 years old, he had a son, Peleg; ¹⁷ after that, he lived another 430 years and had other children. ¹⁸ When Peleg was 30 years old, he had a son, Reu; ¹⁹ after that, he lived another 209 years and had other children. ²⁰ When Reu was 32 years old, he had a son, Serug; ²¹ after that, he lived another 207 years and had other children. ²² When Serug was 30 years old, he had a son, Nahor; ²³ after that, he lived another 200 years and had other children. ²⁴ When Nahor was 29 years old, he had a son, Terah; ²⁵ after that, he lived another 119 years and had other children. ²⁶ After Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. ²⁷ These are the descendants of Terah, who was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran was the father of Lot, ²⁸ and Haran died in his hometown of Ur in Babylonia, while his father was still living. ²⁹ Abram married Sarai, and Nahor married Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was also the father of Iscah. ³⁰ Sarai was not able to have children. ³¹ Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, who was the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, Abram's wife, and with them he left the city of Ur in Babylonia to go to the land of Canaan. They went as far as Haran and settled there. ³² Terah died there at the age of 205.
