Now
the
whole
earth
had
one
language
and
the
same
words.
2
And
as
people
migrated
from
the
east,
they
found
a
plain
in
the
land
of
Shinar
and
settled
there.
3
And
they
said
to
one
another,
“Come,
let
us
make
bricks,
and
burn
them
thoroughly.
”
And
they
had
brick
for
stone,
and
bitumen
for
mortar.
4
Then
they
said,
“Come,
let
us
build
ourselves
a
city
and
a
tower
with
its
top
in
the
heavens,
and
let
us
make
a
name
for
ourselves,
lest
we
be
dispersed
over
the
face
of
the
whole
earth.
”
5
And
the
Lord
came
down
to
see
the
city
and
the
tower,
which
the
children
of
man
had
built.
6
And
the
Lord
said,
[b]“Behold,
they
are
one
people,
and
they
have
all
one
language,
and
this
is
only
the
beginning
of
what
they
will
do.
And
nothing
that
they
propose
to
do
will
now
be
impossible
for
them.
7
Come,
let
us
go
down
and
there
confuse
their
language,
so
that
they
may
not
understand
one
another’s
speech.
”[/b]
8
So
the
Lord
dispersed
them
from
there
over
the
face
of
all
the
earth,
and
they
left
off
building
the
city.
9
Therefore
its
name
was
called
Babel,
because
there
the
Lord
confused1
the
language
of
all
the
earth.
And
from
there
the
Lord
dispersed
them
over
the
face
of
all
the
earth.
