Genesis 11
11
The Tower of Babel
1Now the whole earth #11:1 Lit was one liphad the same language and #11:1 Or one set of wordsthe same words. 2And it happened as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and #11:2 Lit dweltsettled there. 3Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and they had tar for mortar. 4And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” 5Then Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6And Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have #11:6 Lit one lipthe same language. And this is what they have begun to do. So now nothing which they purpose to do will be #11:6 Lit withheld fromimpossible for them. 7Come, let Us go down and there confuse their #11:7 Lit liplanguage, so that they will not understand one another’s #11:7 Lit liplanguage.” 8So Yahweh scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. 9Therefore its name was called #11:9 Or BabylonBabel, because there Yahweh confused the #11:9 Lit liplanguage of the whole earth; and from there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
