Genesis 11
1 erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one kind of words.
2 cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
And it came to pass, as they journeyed toward the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3 dixitque alter ad proximum suum venite faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro cemento
And they said to one another, Go to, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And thus the brick served them for stone, and slime served them for mortar.
4 et dixerunt venite faciamus nobis civitatem et turrem cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras
And they said, Go to, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, the top of which may reach unto heaven; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man were building.
6 et dixit ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus coeperuntque hoc facere nec desistent a cogitationibus suis donec eas opere conpleant
And the Lord said, Behold, it is one people, and they have all one language, and this is the first thing they undertake to do; and now shall they not be restrained in all which they have imagined to do?
7 venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
Go to, let us go down, and confound there their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
9 et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum
Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from there did the Lord scatter them abroad over the face of all the earth.

31 tulit itaque Thare Abram filium suum et Loth filium Aran filium filii sui et Sarai nurum suam uxorem Abram filii sui et eduxit eos de Ur Chaldeorum ut irent in terram Chanaan veneruntque usque Haran et habitaverunt ibi
