Genesis 11

Universal Language, Babel, Confusion

1

Now the wholeh3605 earthh776  1usedh1961 the sameh259 languageh8193 and  2the sameh259 wordsh1697.

2

It cameh1961 about as they journeyedh5265 easth6924a, that they foundh4672 a plainh1237 in the landh776  aof Shinarh8152 and  1settledh3427 thereh8033.

3

They saidh559 to oneh376 anotherh7453, "Comeh3051, let us makeh3835b bricksh3835 and burnh8313 them thoroughlyh8316." And they usedh1961 brickh3843 for stoneh68, and they usedh1961  atarh2564 for mortarh2563a.

4

They saidh559, "Comeh3051, let us buildh1129 for ourselves a cityh5892b, and a towerh4026 whose toph7218  awill reach into heavenh8064, and let us makeh6213a for ourselves  ba nameh8034, otherwiseh6435 we  cwill be scatteredh6327a abroad overh5921 the faceh6440 of the wholeh3605 earthh776."

5

 aThe LORDh3068 cameh3381 downh3381 to seeh7200 the cityh5892b and the towerh4026 whichh834 the sonsh1121 of menh120 had builth1129.

6

The LORDh3068 saidh559, "Beholdh2005, they are oneh259 peopleh5971a, and they allh3605 have  1 athe sameh259 languageh8193. And thish2088 is what they beganh2490c to doh6213a, and nowh6258 nothingh3808h3605 whichh834 they purposeh2161 to doh6213a will be  2impossibleh1219 for them.

7

"Comeh3051,  alet Us goh3381 downh3381 and thereh8033  bconfuseh1101a their  1languageh8193, soh834 that they will not understandh8085 oneh376 another'sh7453  1speechh8193."

8

So the LORDh3068  ascatteredh6327a them abroad from thereh8033 overh5921 the faceh6440 of the wholeh3605 earthh776; and they stoppedh2308 buildingh1129 the cityh5892b.

9

Thereforeh5921h3651 its nameh8034 was calledh7121  1 aBabelh894, becauseh3588 thereh8033 the LORDh3068 confusedh1101a the  2languageh8193 of the wholeh3605 earthh776; and from thereh8033 the LORDh3068 scatteredh6327a them abroad overh5921 the faceh6440 of the wholeh3605 earthh776.
