And they saidonetoanother, Go to, let us makebrick, and burnthem throughly. And they hadbrickfor stone, and slimehadthey for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us buildus a cityand a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us makeus a name, lestwe be scattered abroaduponthe faceof the wholeearth. And the LORDcame downto seethe cityand the tower, whichthe childrenof menbuilt. And the LORDsaid, Behold, the people is one, and they have allonelanguage; and thisthey beginto do: and nownothingwill be restrainedfromthem, whichthey have imaginedto do. Go to, let us go down, and thereconfoundtheir language, thatthey may notunderstandoneanother's speech. So the LORDscattered them abroadfrom thenceuponthe faceof allthe earth: and they left offto buildthe city. Thereforeis the nameof it calledBabel; becausethe LORDdid thereconfoundthe languageof allthe earth: and from thencedid the LORDscatter them abroaduponthe faceof allthe earth.
