Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
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.
4 They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
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.
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
6 And God said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
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.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
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.
