Revised Literal Translation
Genesis 11:7-9
7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8So Yhwh scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because Yhwh did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Yhwh scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.1
