Genesis 11:7-9
7ComeH3051, let Us go downH3381H8033 and confuseH1101 their languageH8193, so thatH834 they will notH3808 understandH8085 oneH376 another’sH7453 speechH8193.”
8So the LORDH3068 scattered themH6327 from thereH8033 overH5921 the faceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776, and they stoppedH2308 buildingH1129 the cityH5892. 9That is whyH5921H3651 itH8034 is calledH7121 BabelH894,1 forH3588 thereH8033 the LORDH3068 confusedH1101 the languageH8193 of the wholeH3605 worldH776, and from that placeH8033 the LORDH3068 scattered themH6327 overH5921 the faceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776.
