10:9 About noon ¹  the next day, while they were on their way and approaching ²  the city, Peter went up on the roof ³  to pray. 10:10 He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing the meal, a trance came over him. ⁴  10:11 He ⁵  saw heaven ⁶  opened ⁷  and an object something like a large sheet ⁸  descending, ⁹  being let down to earth ¹⁰  by its four corners. 10:12 In it ¹¹  were all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles ¹²  of the earth and wild birds. ¹³  10:13 Then ¹⁴  a voice said ¹⁵  to him, “Get up, Peter; slaughter ¹⁶  and eat!” 10:14 But Peter said, “Certainly not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything defiled and ritually unclean!” ¹⁷  10:15 The voice ¹⁸  spoke to him again, a second time, “What God has made clean, you must not consider ¹⁹  ritually unclean!” ²⁰  10:16 This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven. ²¹ 

11:5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people ⁵  had started ⁶  building. 11:6 And the Lord said, “If as one people all sharing a common language ⁷  they have begun to do this, then ⁸  nothing they plan to do will be beyond them. ⁹  11:7 Come, let’s go down and confuse ¹⁰  their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.” ¹¹ 

11:8 So the Lord scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building ¹²  the city. 11:9 That is why its name was called ¹³  Babel ¹⁴  – because there the Lord confused the language of the entire world, and from there the Lord scattered them across the face of the entire earth.

11:10 This is the account of Shem.

Shem was 100 old when he became the father of Arphaxad, two years after the flood. 11:11 And after becoming the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other ¹⁵  sons and daughters.

11:12 When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah.
