a great city.

CHAPTER 11
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2
And it came to pass, as they journeyed
from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3
And they said
one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone,
and slime had they for morter.
4
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top
may reach
unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of
the whole earth.
5
And the L
ORD
came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of
men builded.
6
And the L
ORD
said, Behold, the people
is
one, and they have all one language; and
this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to
do.
7
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one
another’s speech.
8
So the L
ORD
scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth:
and they left off to build the city.
9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the L
ORD
did
there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the L
ORD
scatter them abroad
upon the face of all the earth.
