Genesis 11
1 And all the earth had one language and one tongue.
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
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 as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
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 sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter
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 sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
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 the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed 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.
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town.
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
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.
Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth.
