Genesis 11
1 And it was all the earth language one and words one.
The whole earth was of one language and of one 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.
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived 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’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for 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’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on 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.
Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men 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, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
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’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may 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 Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. 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 all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
