| || 1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. <br> 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. <br> 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. <br> 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 abroad upon the face of the whole earth. <br> 5 And the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. <br> 6 And the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. <br> 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. <br> 8 So the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. <br> 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. | |||
