< Genesis 11 >
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
And it was all the earth language one and words one.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
And it was when set out they from [the] east and they found a plain in [the] land of Shinar and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar.
And they said each to neighbor his give! let us make bricks bricks and let us burn [them] to burning and became for them brick to stone and bitumen became for them to mortar.
4 And they said, Come, let us build a city for us, and a tower, and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for us, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And they said give! - let us build for ourselves a city and a tower and top its [will be] in the heavens and we may make for ourselves a name lest we should be scattered over [the] surface of all the earth.
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. And now nothing will be withheld from them, which they propose to do.
And he said Yahweh here! a people one and a language one [belongs] to all of them and this [is] beginning they to do and now not it will be withheld from them all that they will plan to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Jehovah there confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
There-fore someone called name its Babel for there he confused Yahweh [the] language of all the earth and from there he scattered them Yahweh over [the] surface of all the earth.
