1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speach.1
3 And 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.3
5 And the LORD came downe to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad vpon the face of all the earth.9
