And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; now nothing that they propose to do will be impossible for them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

Then they said, “Come, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top will reach to heaven, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.

But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men built.

So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
