Genesis 11
1 At first, all the people in [MTY] the world spoke the same language [DOU].
and to be all [the] land: country/planet lip: language one and word one
2 As people moved further east, they arrived at a plain in Babylonia region and began to live there.

3 Then they said to each other, “(Hey/Come on), let’s form bricks and bake them to make them hard, for building!” So they used bricks instead of stones, and used tar instead of (mortar/a mixture of cement, sand and lime) to hold them together.
and to say man: anyone to(wards) neighbor his to give [emph?] to make bricks brick and to burn to/for fire and to be to/for them [the] brick to/for stone and [the] bitumen to be to/for them to/for clay
4 They said, “Hey, let’s build a city for ourselves! We also ought to build a very high tower that reaches up to the sky! In that way we will become famous! If we do not do this, we will be scattered all over the earth!”
and to say to give [emph?] to build to/for us city and tower and head: top his in/on/with heaven and to make to/for us name lest to scatter upon face: surface all [the] land: country/planet
5 So they began to build the city and the tower. Then Yahweh looked down and saw the city and the tower that those [puny] men were building.
and to go down LORD to/for to see: see [obj] [the] city and [obj] [the] tower which to build son: child [the] man
6 Yahweh said, “These people are one group that all speak the same language. If they have begun to do this now, then (there is nothing that they will decide to do that will be impossible for them/they will be able to do whatever they decide to do) [LIT]!
and to say LORD look! people one and lip: language one to/for all their and this to profane/begin: begin they to/for to make: do and now not to gather/restrain/fortify from them all which to plan to/for to make: do
7 So, okay/now, we will go down there and cause there to be many different languages, so that they will not be able to understand each other.”
to give [emph?] to go down and to mix there lip: language their which not to hear: understand man: anyone lip: words neighbor his
8 So Yahweh did that. As a result, the people stopped building the city, and Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
and to scatter LORD [obj] them from there upon face: surface all [the] land: country/planet and to cease to/for to build [the] city
9 The city was called Babel which means ‘confusion’, because there Yahweh caused the people to become confused because the people [MTY] spoke [different languages that the others could not understand], not just one language. From there Yahweh caused them to disperse all over the earth.
upon so to call: call by name her Babylon for there to mix LORD lip: language all [the] land: country/planet and from there to scatter them LORD upon face: surface all [the] land: country/planet
