Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
2 and it comes to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar and dwell there;
And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
3 and they each say to his neighbor, “Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly”: and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen has been to them for mortar.
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 say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all 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 YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
6 and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
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 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
9 therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all 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.
