| Translation 2 | And from-east they-journey and Shinar in-land plain it-find-they and there they-dwell. |
|---|
| Translation 3 | And man to-man he-says: "Do, brick them-make-we and totally them-burn-we." And brick stone it-for-them-is and slime bitumen it-for-them-is |
|---|
| Translation 4 | And they-say: "Do, city it-build-we tower-and its-top sky it-touches-it; and our-name it-to-us-give-we as-to whole-earth's its-to-surface us-not-scatters-he and we-are-far." |

| Translation 5 | And Lord he-comes-down city tower-and to-see man's his-child them-have-built-they. |
|---|
| Translation 6 | And Lord he-says: "Then, one people they-are and to-all one language-is, and this it-do-they they-begin; and now nothing it-want-they it-not-hampers. |
|---|
| Translation 7 | Go, go-down, and there their-language it-jumble-up so-that this-one that-one's his-speech it-not-understands-he." |
|---|
| Translation 8 | Then Lord thence whole-earth's it-to-surface them-scatters-he and they-are-far; and city it-build-they they-cease. |
|---|
| Translation 9 | For-that Babel it-is-called because there Lord whole-earth's its-language it-jumbles-up-he; and Lord thence whole-earth's its-surface them-scatters-he and they-are-far. |

| English Paraphrase 1 | Then the whole earth [was] one language and one speech. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 2 | And from East they journeyed and in the land of Shinar they found a plain and they dwelt there. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 3 | And man said to [another] man: "Let's go, let's make bricks and burn them totally." And bricks were stones for them and slime was bitumen for them. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 4 | And they said: "Let's go, let's build a city and tower which top will touch the sky; and let's give us a name so that we won't be scattered away on the whole earth's face." |
|---|
| Paraphrase 5 | And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the children of man had built. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 6 | And the Lord said: "Now, they are one people and they have one language, and this [is how] they began to act; and now, nothing will hamper them doing what they want. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 7 | Come on, let's go down and let's jumble there their language so that one can't understand the other." |
|---|
| Paraphrase 8 | Then the Lord scattered them away from there to the whole earth's surface; and they ceased building the city. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 9 | Therefore Babel it is called, because there the Lord jumbled up the language of the whole earth; and the Lord scattered them away from there to the whole earth's surface. |
