1
Among those who went forth from the city of Shalom was Peleg who traveled to the northwest and established a city after the order of his father Noah, for Peleg was the son of Eber, the son of Salah, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, and his people sought after the heavenly order and obtained it for they were caught up like the City of Enoch.
2
But Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, followed not after the ways of his fathers, for he sought after gain for himself; wherefore, he led those who were of a like mind with himself out from the City of Peleg and they journeyed even unto the land of Shinar and became confederate with Nimrod.
3
Under the direction of Nimrod, Serug and his companions entered into the secret combination and became men of power and wealth in Nimrod's kingdom.
4
In the land of Shinar, Serug begat Nahor, and Nahor begat Terah, my father.
5
And Terah became great in the eyes of Nimrod, and Nimrod elevated him over all his people to stand at his right hand and advise him on all matters.
