*
And the whole earth was of one lip and of one speech
*
And it happened ,
as they pulled up stakes from the east ,
they found a level valley in the land of Shinar .
And they lived there .
*
And each one said to his neighbor ,
Come ,
let us make brick ,
and burning burn them .
And they had brick for stone ,
and they had asphalt for mortar .
*
And they said ,
Come ,
let us build a city and a tower with its head in the heavens ,
and make a name for ourselves ,
that we not be scattered on the face of all the earth .
*
And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of Adam had built .
*
And Jehovah said ,
Behold ,
the people is one ,
and the lip one to all of them ,
and this they are beginning to do ,
and now all which they have purposed to do will not be restrained from them .
*
Come ,
let Us go down and confuse their language so that they cannot understand one another '
s speech .
*
And Jehovah scattered them from there ,
over the face of all the earth .
And they stopped building the city .
*
On account of this its name is called Babel ,
because Jehovah confused the language of all the earth there .
And Jehovah scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth .
