Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they lived there.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
And a man said to his neighbor, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbor.
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
