Translation 6Deities said "if one people-as who speak language common, they began to-do this, at-that-time not all that they-plan will-be-impossible they-for.

English Paraphrase 1Then, the whole planet had one language - a common speech
Paraphrase 2As men moved eastwards, they found a strip of land in Shinar and stayed there.
Paraphrase 3They said to themselves "Now! Lets make bricks and bake them well. They used brick as stone and tar as mortar.
Paraphrase 4Then they said to themselves "Now! Lets build a city that has a tower that reaches to the sky to announce ourselves to the world, so we won't be scattered over the surface of the planet.
Paraphrase 5But the deities descended to see the city and tower that the men were building.
Paraphrase 6The deities said "If as one group who speak the same language they began to do this, then nothing they plan will be impossible for them.
Paraphrase 7Now. Lets descend and confuse their language so that they cannot understand each other.
Paraphrase 8In that way, the deities scattered them from there all over the planet, and the men stopped building the city.
