Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
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 journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt 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 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 mortar.
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, 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.
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 children of men builded.
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, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
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.
Therefore was 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.
