| 11:1 |
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
|
| 11:2 |
And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
|
| 11:3 |
And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
|
| 11:4 |
Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
|
| 11:5 |
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built.
|
| 11:6 |
And the LORD said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
|
| 11:7 |
Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech."
|
| 11:8 |
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
|
| 11:9 |
Therefore it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
