Genesis 11:8-9

8So the Lord 1scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. 9Therefore its name was called 23Babel, because there the Lord confused the 4language of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.
