Genesis 11
1 And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
And it was all the earth language one and words one.
2 And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.
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 bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.
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 make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the 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 the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
6 And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.
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 take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.
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 the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
9 So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of 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.
