| English Paraphrase 1 | Now existed one language and together one speech (for) all the world. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 2 | While men moved towards the east, they found the Shinar plain and settled therein. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 3 | They said to each other that "Come, it's possible to make bricks and bake that thing well." They swapped bricks (for) stone and tar (for) mortar. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 4 | And they said "(Since) is it not possible to build a city with a heaven stretching tower? (Thus) for us it's possible to build our name, so not to be scattered across the world's face" |
|---|
| Paraphrase 5 | But in order to see the city and tower that men were building, the Lord descended. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 6 | The Lord said that "If all the people are speaking the same language, (and have) begun this, then for them (if) nothing that they plan doing will be impossible. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 7 | Come! (Since) is it not possible to descend, in order to confuse their language, (thus) they will not understand each other?" |
|---|
| Paraphrase 8 | It follows that from there they scattered through all the world and they stopped building the city. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 9 | Thus that it was called Babel, because there the Lord confused all world language. From there the Lord scattered them across the world's face. |
