English Paraphrase 1Now the whole world had one language and one speech.
Paraphrase 2When the people went to the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar.
Paraphrase 3And they said to each other: "Let's make bricks and bake 'm". They used bricks instead of stones, and tar as cement.
Paraphrase 4Then they said: "Let's build a city, and a tower as high as heaven, so that we can make a name for ourselves and we will not be scattered over the whole world."
Paraphrase 5But God came down to the city to see the city and the tower that the people made.
Paraphrase 6God said: "If people with the same language can do this, then nothing what they want is impossible."
Paraphrase 7Come, let's go down and mess-up their language, so that they won't understand each other.
Paraphrase 8And God scattered them over the whole world, and they stopped with building the city.
Paraphrase 9And that's why the city is called Babel - because God messed-up all the languages in the world. God scattered the people from there all over the whole world.
