Genesis 11:2 Context
1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speach. 2And it came to passe as they iourneyed from the East, that they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3And they sayd one to another; Goe to, let vs make bricke, and burne them thorowly. And they had bricke for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4And they said; Goe to, let vs build vs a city and a tower, whose top may reach vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest we be scattered abroad vpon the face of the whole earth.
