Compare all
3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and1 bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.  
4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower awhose top is in the heavens; let us make a bname for ourselves, lest we cbe scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”  
5 aBut the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.  
6 And the Lord said, “Indeed athe people are one and they all have bone language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they cpropose to do will be withheld from them.  
7 Come, alet Us go down and there bconfuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”  
8 So athe Lord scattered them abroad from there bover the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.  
9 Therefore its name is called1 Babel, abecause there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
