Genesis 11:2-9
2And it came to pass, as they journeyedH5265 from the eastH6924, that they foundH4672 a plainH1237 in the landH776 of ShinarH8152; and they dweltH3427 there.1 3And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, comeH3051, let us makeH3835 brickH3843, and burnH8313 them thoroughlyH8316. And they had brickH3843 for stoneH68, and slimeH2564 hadH1961 they for mortarH2563.23 4And they saidH559, comeH3051, let us buildH1129 us a cityH5892 and a towerH4026, whose topH7218 may reach to heavenH8064; and let us makeH6213 us a nameH8034, lest we should be scattered abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776.
5And the LORDH3068 came downH3381 to seeH7200 the cityH5892 and the towerH4026, which the childrenH1121 of menH120 were buildingH1129. 6And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 is oneH259, and they have all oneH259 languageH8193; and this they beginH2490 to doH6213: and now nothingH3808H3605 will be withheldH1219 from them, which they have imaginedH2161 to doH6213. 7ComeH3051, let us go downH3381, and there confoundH1101 their languageH8193, thatH834 they may not understandH8085 oneH376 another’sH7453 speechH8193. 8So the LORDH3068 scattered them abroadH6327 from thereH8033 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776: and they stoppedH2308 buildingH1129 the cityH5892. 9Therefore is the name of itH8034 calledH7121 BabelH894; because the LORDH3068 there confoundedH1101 the languageH8193 of all the earthH776: and from there didH6327 the LORDH3068 scatter them abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776.4
