2AE. | And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat land in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place. |
3AE. | 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. |
4AE. | 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 side of the earth. |
5AE. | And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building. |
6AE. | And the Lord said, See, they are all one folk and have all one speech; and this is only the start of what they may do; and now anything they try to do will not be kept from them. |
7AE. | Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their speech, so that they will not be able to make themselves understood to one another. |
8AE. | So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth; and they gave up building their town. |
9AE. | So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the meaning of all tongues; and from there the Lord sent them away over all the side of the earth. |
:AE. | Translated by Jeffrey Henning, October 9th, 1995. |
