Ayat-ayat Alkitab Ternama dari Genesis 11

Berbagi

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

Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.”

Therefore its name was 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.

Now the whole earth had one language and few words.

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built.

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