Genesis 11

Universal Language, Babel, Confusion

11Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.H776H259H8193H259H16972And it came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.H5265H6924H4672H1237H776H8152H34273And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and burn [them] thoroughly." And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.H559H376H7453H3051H3835H3843H8313H8316H3843H68H2564H1961H25634And they said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top [will reach] into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name; lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."H559H3051H1129H5892H4026H7218H8064H6213H8034H6327H6440H7765And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.H3068H3381H7200H5892H4026H1121H120H11296And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.H3068H559H5971H259H259H8193H2490H6213H3808H3605H1219H2161H62137"Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."H3051H3381H1101H8193H834H8085H376H7453H81938So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.H3068H6327H8033H6440H776H2308H1129H58929Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.H8034H7121H894H3068H1101H8193H776H6327H3068H6327H6440H776
