And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,
that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they
dwelt there. |
| 11:3 |
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make
brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for
stone, and slime had they for mortar. |
| 11:4 |
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a
tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make
us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of
the whole earth. |
| 11:5 |
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men builded. |
| 11:6 |
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and
they have all one language; and this they begin to do:
and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they
have imagined to do. |
| 11:7 |
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their
language, that they may not understand one another's
speech. |
| 11:8 |
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon
the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the
city. |
| 11:9 |
Therefore is 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. |
