Genesis 11:1-6
The Tower of Babel
1Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in athe land of Shinar and settled there. 3And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, band bitumen for mortar. 4Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower cwith its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” 5And dthe Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
