The Tower of Babel

11Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.H776H259H8193H259H1697 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.H5265H6924H4672H1237H776H8152H3427 3Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.H559H376H7453H3051H3835H3843H8313H8316H3843H68H2564H1961H2563 4And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."H559H3051H1129H5892H4026H7218H8064H6213H8034H6327H6440H776 5But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.H3068H3381H7200H5892H4026H1121H120H1129 6And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.H3068H559H5971H259H259H8193H2490H6213H3808H3605H1219H2161H6213 7"Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."H3051H3381H1101H8193H834H8085H376H7453H8193 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.H3068H6327H8033H6440H776H2308H1129H5892 9Therefore its name is 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.H8034H7121H894H3068H1101H8193H776H6327H3068H6327H6440H776
