  1. 1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.וַֽיְהִ֥י כָל הָאָ֖רֶץ שָׂפָ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת וּדְבָרִ֖ים אֲחָדִֽים
  2. 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.וַֽיְהִ֖י בְּנָסְעָ֣ם מִקֶּ֑דֶם וַֽיִּמְצְא֥וּ בִקְעָ֛ה בְּאֶ֥רֶץ שִׁנְעָ֖ר וַיֵּ֥שְׁבוּ שָֽׁם
  3. 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.וַיֹּאמְר֞וּ אִ֣ישׁ אֶל רֵעֵ֗הוּ הָ֚בָה נִלְבְּנָ֣ה לְבֵנִ֔ים וְנִשְׂרְפָ֖ה לִשְׂרֵפָ֑ה וַתְּהִ֨י הַלְּבֵנָה֙ לְאָ֔בֶן וְהַ֣חֵמָ֔ר הָיָ֥ה לַחֹֽמֶר
  4. 4And they said, Go to, 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.וַיֹּאמְר֞וּ הָ֣בָה נִבְנֶה עִ֗יר וּמִגְדָּל֙ וְרֹאשׁ֣וֹ בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְנַֽעֲשֶׂה שֵׁ֑ם פֶּן נָפ֖וּץ עַל פְּנֵ֥י כָל הָאָֽרֶץ
  5. 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.וַיֵּ֣רֶד יְהוָ֔ה לִרְאֹ֥ת אֶת הָעִ֖יר וְאֶת הַמִּגְדָּ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנ֖וּ בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָֽם
  6. 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה הֵ֣ן עַ֤ם אֶחָד֙ וְשָׂפָ֤ה אַחַת֙ לְכֻלָּ֔ם וְזֶ֖ה הַחִלָּ֣ם לַעֲשׂ֑וֹת וְעַתָּה֙ לֹֽא יִבָּצֵ֣ר כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָזְמ֖וּ לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת
  7. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.הָ֚בָה נֵֽרְדָ֔ה וְנָבְלָ֥ה שָׁ֖ם שְׂפָתָ֑ם אֲשֶׁר֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁמְע֔וּ אִ֖ישׁ שְׂפַ֥ת רֵעֵֽהוּ
  8. 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.וַיָּ֨פֶץ יְהוָ֥ה אֹתָ֛ם מִשָּׁ֖ם עַל פְּנֵ֣י כָל הָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיַּחְדְּל֖וּ לִבְנֹ֥ת הָעִֽיר
  9. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.עַל כֵּ֞ן קָרָ֤א שְׁמָהּ֙ בָּבֶ֔ל כִּי שָׁ֛ם בָּלַ֥ל יְהוָ֖ה שְׂפַ֣ת כָּל הָאָ֑רֶץ וּמִשָּׁם֙ הֱפִיצָ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה עַל פְּנֵ֖י כָּל הָאָֽרֶץ
  10. 10These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:אֵ֚לֶּה תּוֹלְדֹ֣ת שֵׁ֔ם שֵׁ֚ם בֶּן מְאַ֣ת שָׁנָ֔ה וַיּ֖וֹלֶד אֶת אַרְפַּכְשָׁ֑ד שְׁנָתַ֖יִם אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל
  11. 11And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.וַֽיְחִי שֵׁ֗ם אַֽחֲרֵי֙ הוֹלִיד֣וֹ אֶת אַרְפַּכְשָׁ֔ד חֲמֵ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת

  13. 13And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.וַֽיְחִ֣י אַרְפַּכְשַׁ֗ד אַֽחֲרֵי֙ הוֹלִיד֣וֹ אֶת שֶׁ֔לַח שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֔ים וְאַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת

  16. 16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:וַֽיְחִי עֵ֕בֶר אַרְבַּ֥ע וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֖וֹלֶד אֶת פָּֽלֶג
  17. 17And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.וַֽיְחִי עֵ֗בֶר אַחֲרֵי֙ הוֹלִיד֣וֹ אֶת פֶּ֔לֶג שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה וְאַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת
  18. 18And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:וַֽיְחִי פֶ֖לֶג שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֖וֹלֶד אֶת רְעֽוּ
  19. 19And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.וַֽיְחִי פֶ֗לֶג אַחֲרֵי֙ הוֹלִיד֣וֹ אֶת רְע֔וּ תֵּ֥שַׁע שָׁנִ֖ים וּמָאתַ֣יִם שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת
  20. 20And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:וַיְחִ֣י רְע֔וּ שְׁתַּ֥יִם וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֖וֹלֶד אֶת שְׂרֽוּג
  21. 21And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.וַיְחִ֣י רְע֗וּ אַחֲרֵי֙ הוֹלִיד֣וֹ אֶת שְׂר֔וּג שֶׁ֥בַע שָׁנִ֖ים וּמָאתַ֣יִם שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת
  22. 22And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:וַיְחִ֥י שְׂר֖וּג שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֖וֹלֶד אֶת נָחֽוֹר
  23. 23And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.וַיְחִ֣י שְׂר֗וּג אַחֲרֵ֛י הוֹלִיד֥וֹ אֶת נָח֖וֹר מָאתַ֣יִם שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת
  24. 24And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:וַיְחִ֣י נָח֔וֹר תֵּ֥שַׁע וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֖וֹלֶד אֶת תָּֽרַח
  25. 25And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.וַיְחִ֣י נָח֗וֹר אַחֲרֵי֙ הוֹלִיד֣וֹ אֶת תֶּ֔רַח תְּשַֽׁע עֶשְׂרֵ֥ה שָׁנָ֖ה וּמְאַ֣ת שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֥וֹלֶד בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת
  26. 26And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.וַֽיְחִי תֶ֖רַח שִׁבְעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיּ֨וֹלֶד֙ אֶת אַבְרָ֔ם אֶת נָח֖וֹר וְאֶת הָרָֽן
  27. 27Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.וְאֵ֨לֶּה֙ תּוֹלְדֹ֣ת תֶּ֔רַח תֶּ֚רַח הוֹלִ֣יד אֶת אַבְרָ֔ם אֶת נָח֖וֹר וְאֶת הָרָ֑ן וְהָרָ֖ן הוֹלִ֥יד אֶת לֽוֹט
  28. 28And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.וַיָּ֣מָת הָרָ֔ן עַל פְּנֵ֖י תֶּ֣רַח אָבִ֑יו בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מוֹלַדְתּ֖וֹ בְּא֥וּר כַּשְׂדִּֽים
  29. 29And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.וַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָ֧ם וְנָח֛וֹר נָשִׁ֑ים שֵׁ֤ם אֵֽשֶׁת אַבְרָם֙ שָׂרָ֔י וְשֵׁ֤ם אֵֽשֶׁת נָחוֹר֙ מִלְכָּ֔ה בַּת הָרָ֥ן אֲבִֽי מִלְכָּ֖ה וַֽאֲבִ֥י יִסְכָּֽה
  30. 30But Sarai was barren; she had no child.וַתְּהִ֥י שָׂרַ֖י עֲקָרָ֑ה אֵ֥ין וָלָֽד
  31. 31And 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.וַיִּקַּ֨ח תֶּ֜רַח אֶת אַבְרָ֣ם בְּנ֗וֹ וְאֶת ל֤וֹט בֶּן הָרָן֙ בֶּן בְּנ֔וֹ וְאֵת֙ שָׂרַ֣י כַּלָּת֔וֹ אֵ֖שֶׁת אַבְרָ֣ם בְּנ֑וֹ וַיֵּצְא֨וּ אִתָּ֜ם מֵא֣וּר כַּשְׂדִּ֗ים לָלֶ֨כֶת֙ אַ֣רְצָה כְּנַ֔עַן וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ עַד חָרָ֖ן וַיֵּ֥שְׁבוּ שָֽׁם
  32. 32And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.וַיִּהְי֣וּ יְמֵי תֶ֔רַח חָמֵ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים וּמָאתַ֣יִם שָׁנָ֑ה וַיָּ֥מָת תֶּ֖רַח בְּחָרָֽן

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
