1C. |
And all the earth had one language and one tongue. |
2C. |
And it came about that in their wandering from the east,
they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and
there they made their living-place. |
3C. |
And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks,
burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together
with sticky earth. |
4C. |
And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower
whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name
for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the
earth. |
5C. |
And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower
which the children of men were building. |
6C. |
And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and
have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may
do; and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose
of theirs. |
7C. |
Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their
language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to
one another. |
8C. |
So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the
earth; and they gave up building their town. |
9C. |
So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away
the sense of all languages; and from there the Lord sent them away
over all the face of the earth. |
:C. |
