Genesis 11:3-7

3They said to each other, “Come, let’s make oven-fired bricks.” (They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.)

4And they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let’s make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered throughout the earth.”

5Then the Lord came down to look over the city and the tower that the humans were building.

6The Lord said, “If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.

7Come, let’s go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
