| English Paraphrase 1 | The whole world used one language. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 2 | Men went east, found a field in Shinar and settled there. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 3 | The men said, "We shall make some bricks and heat them well." They used bricks instead of stone and tar for mortar. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 4 | Then they said, "We shall make a city with a tower that reaches the sky so that we can make a name for ourselves and not be separated over all the earth." |
|---|
| Paraphrase 5 | But God came down to see the city and the tower that the men were making. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 6 | God said, "If the men start to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they want to do will be impossible. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 7 | I shall go down to change their language so they cannot communicate." |
|---|
| Paraphrase 8 | So God scattered the men over all the earth, and they did not finish building their city. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 9 | The story explains the name "Babel" - because there God changed the language of the whole world. From there God scattered the men over all the earth. |
