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.
