GENESIS CHAPTER
11
1
And the whole earth was of one
language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they
journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they
dwelt there.
3
And they said one to another, Go to, let us
make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had
they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city
and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name,
lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men
builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing
will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go
to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad
from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel;
because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from
thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the
earth.
- Genesis 11:5-9
- 5 The R257 LORD came down to see the city and the tower
which the sons of men had built. 6 The LORD said, "Behold,
they are one people, and they all have the F166 R258 same language. And this is what they began
to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible F167 for them. 7 "Come, let R259 Us go down and there confuse R260 their language, F168 so that they will not understand one
another's speech." F168 8 So the LORD scattered
R261 them abroad from there over the face of the
whole earth; and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel,
F169 R262 because there the LORD confused the language
F170 of the whole earth; and from there the LORD
scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.
