them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for
morter.
11:4 And 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

children of men builded.
11:6 And 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

11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech.
11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all
the earth: and they left off to build the city.
11:9 Therefore 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.
