Genesis 11

  1. And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 🔗
  2. 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. 🔗
  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 morter. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  5. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  7. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another2019s speech. 🔗
  8. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 🔗
  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. 🔗
