Genesis 11:1-9

 

1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.  2 As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”  8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.  9 That is why it was called Babel-- because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
