< Genesis 11 >

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one kind of words.
And it was all the earth language one and words one.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed toward the 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 to one another, Go to, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And thus the brick served them for stone, and slime served them 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, Go to, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, the top of which may reach unto heaven; and let us make ourselves a name, 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 the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man 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, Behold, it is one people, and they have all one language, and this is the first thing they undertake to do; and now shall they not be restrained in all which they have imagined 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 Go to, let us go down, and confound there their language, that they may not understand one another'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 the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth; and they left off to build 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 is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from there did the Lord scatter them abroad over 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.
