Genesis 11:2-4

2AndH1961 as people journeyedH5265 eastwardH6924,1 they foundH4672 a plainH1237 in the landH776 of ShinarH81522 and settledH3427 thereH8033.

3And they saidH559 toH413 oneH376 anotherH7453, “ComeH3051, let us makeH3835 bricksH3843 and bake themH8313 thoroughlyH8316.” So they usedH1961 brickH3843 instead of stoneH68, and tarH2564 instead of mortarH2563.

4“ComeH3051,” they saidH559, “let us buildH1129 for ourselves a cityH5892 with a towerH4026 that reachesH7218 to the heavensH8064, that we may makeH6213 a nameH8034 for ourselves and notH6435 be scatteredH6327 overH5921 the faceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776.”
