³And 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.🔗🔍
⁴And 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.🔗🔍
⁵And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.🔗🔍
⁶And the LORD 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.🔗🔍
⁷Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.🔗🔍
⁸So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.🔗🔍
⁹Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.🔗🔍
