And the whole earth
was of one
language,
and of one
speech.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed
from the east,
that they found
a plain
in the land
of Shinar;
and they dwelt
there.
And 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.

And 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.
say
And the LORD
came down
to see
the city
and the tower,
which the children
of men
builded.
And 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.
say
Go to,
let us go down,
and there confound
their language,
that
they may not understand
one
another's
speech.
So the LORD
scattered them abroad
from thence
upon the face
of all the earth:
and they left off
to build
the city.
Therefore 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.
