1Now the wholeH3605 earthH776 1usedH1961 the sameH259 languageH8193 and 2the sameH259 wordsH1697.
2It cameH1961 about as they journeyedH5265 eastH6924, that they foundH4672 a plainH1237 in the landH776 3of ShinarH8152 and 4settledH3427 thereH8033.
3They saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH7453, “ComeH3051, let us makeH3835 bricksH3835 and burnH8313 them thoroughlyH8316.” And they usedH1961 brickH3843 for stoneH68, and they usedH1961 5tarH2564 for mortarH2563.
4They saidH559, “ComeH3051, let us buildH1129 for ourselves a cityH5892, and a towerH4026 whose topH7218 6will reach into heavenH8064, and let us makeH6213 for ourselves 7a nameH8034, otherwiseH6435 we 8will be scatteredH6327 abroad overH5921 the faceH6440 of the wholeH3605 earthH776.”
