The Tower of Babylon

11At one time the whole earth had the same language and vocabulary.H776H259H8193H259H1697 2As people migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.H5265H6924H4672H1237H776H8152H3427 3They said to each other, "Come, let us make oven-fired bricks." They had brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.H559H376H7453H3051H3835H3843H8313H8316H3843H68H2564H1961H2563 4And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth."H559H3051H1129H5892H4026H7218H8064H6213H8034H6327H6440H776 5Then the LORD came down to look over the city and the tower that the men were building.H3068H3381H7200H5892H4026H1121H120H1129 6The LORD said, "If, as one people all having the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.H3068H559H5971H259H259H8193H2490H6213H3808H3605H1219H2161H6213 7Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another's speech."H3051H3381H1101H8193H834H8085H376H7453H8193 8So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.H3068H6327H8033H6440H776H2308H1129H5892 9Therefore its name is called Babylon, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth, and from there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.H8034H7121H894H3068H1101H8193H776H6327H3068H6327H6440H776
