Genesis 11
1 And it was all the earth language one and words one.
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
2 And it was when set out they from [the] east and they found a plain in [the] land of Shinar and they dwelt there.
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 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.
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
4 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.
“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
5 And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
6 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.
And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
7 Give! let us go down and let us confuse there language their that not they will hear each [the] language of neighbor his.
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
8 And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 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.
That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
