The whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
They said to one another, come let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.

They had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 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 scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. The Lord said, 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.

Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another speech. The Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

Its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
