Yet Shem and his brothers, multiplied abundantly upon the earth; and begat sons and daughters; and went on this way, until Shem was 550 years old, when he died.
2Then they embalmed him, and continued mourning for him 40 days.
3After this, Arphaxad, son of Shem, lived 485 years, and then died; and they embalmed him and mourned for him 40 days.
4Then after him was Cainan, son of Arphaxad and father of Melchizedec, who lived 589 years, and then died.
5After him Saleh, son of Cainan, and brother of Melchizedec lived 408 years, and then died.
6After him Eber his son, lived 434 years, and then died. Eber wifes was Azurad, Nimrod's daughter
7Then Phalek (Peleg) was born when his father was 207 years old.
8In the days of Phalek, the earth was divided a second time among the three sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japhet.
9Wherefore were they much aggrieved through this division among themselves; because duriug their father's life-time, they were gathered together.
10Yet now they were divided asunder, and much affliction befell them on that account.
11Yet Phalek died, and they buried him in his own city Phalek.
12For they had built a city, and had called it after his name.
13Yet after his death, which happened when he was 430 years old, there were great disturbances, and men gathered together within fenced cities.
14And after this, tongues were divided; (there are 72)
15for God divided them when men built the tower in Sennaar; yet it was destroyed over them. Nimrod provided them with food from his hunt
16And God divided their languages; and what remained of them He dispersed over the earth; because they built without a fixed plan.
17Therefore God dispersed them and scattered them, and brought upon them the division of their languages; until if one of them spake, no other understood what he said.
18And the number of languages is seventy-two.
19And when they were thus divided, they had over them 72 rulers, one to every tongue, and to every country, by way of a king.
20And of the seed of Japhet were six peoples.
