1. At one time the whole earth had the same language and vocabulary.
|
1. And the whole H3605 earth H776 was H1961 of one H259 language H8193 , and of one H259 speech H1697 .
|
|
2. As people migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.
|
2. And it came to pass H1961 , as they journeyed H5265 from the east H4480 H6924 , that they found H4672 a plain H1237 in the land H776 of Shinar H8152 ; and they dwelt H3427 there H8033 .
|
|
3. They said to each other, "Come, let us make oven-fired bricks." They had brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.

|
|
4. And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
|
4. And they said H559 , Go to H3051 , let us build H1129 us a city H5892 and a tower H4026 , whose top H7218 may reach unto heaven H8064 ; and let us make H6213 us a name H8034 , lest H6435 we be scattered abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the whole H3605 earth H776 .
|
|
5. Then the LORD came down to look over the city and the tower that the men were building.
|
5. And the LORD H3068 came down H3381 to see H7200 H853 the city H5892 and the tower H4026 , which H834 the children H1121 of men H120 built H1129 .
|
|
6. The LORD said, "If, as one people all having the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
|
6. And the LORD H3068 said H559 , Behold H2005 , the people H5971 is one H259 , and they have all H3605 one H259 language H8193 ; and this H2088 they begin H2490 to do H6213 : and now H6258 nothing H3808 H3605 will be restrained H1219 from H4480 them, which H834 they have imagined H2161 to do H6213 .
|
|
7. Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another's speech."
|
7. Go to H3051 , let us go down H3381 , and there H8033 confound H1101 their language H8193 , that H834 they may not H3808 understand H8085 one H376 another H7453 's speech H8193 .
|
|
8. So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.
|
8. So the LORD H3068 scattered them abroad H6327 H853 from thence H4480 H8033 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth H776 : and they left off H2308 to build H1129 the city H5892 .
|
|
9. Therefore its name is called Babylon, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth, and from there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
|
9. Therefore H5921 H3651 is the name H8034 of it called H7121 Babel H894 ; because H3588 the LORD H3068 did there H8033 confound H1101 the language H8193 of all H3605 the earth H776 : and from thence H4480 H8033 did the LORD H3068 scatter them abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth H776 .
