Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
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 came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
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 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 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."
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 God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
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 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 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
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.
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.
