Genesis 11
1 And it was all the earth language one and words one.
Now the whole earth used one language and had the same words.
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.
As they journeyed in the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they 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.
They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick instead of stone and tar as 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.
They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top will reach to the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves. If we do not, we will be scattered across the surface of the whole earth.”
5 And he came down Yahweh to see the city and the tower which they had built [the] children of humankind.
So Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the descendants of Adam had built.
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.
Yahweh said, “Look, they are one people with the same language, and they are beginning to do this! Soon nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for 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 there, so that they may not understand each other.”
8 And he scattered Yahweh them from there over [the] surface of all the earth and they ceased to build the city.
So Yahweh scattered them from there across the surface 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.
Therefore, its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth and from there Yahweh scattered them abroad over the surface of all the earth.
