Genesis 11
1 And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 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
And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4 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.
And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
5 And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 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.
And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
8 Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
9 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.
Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
