1 Morouer all the worlde had one tonge & language.
2 Now as they wente towarde the East, they founde a playne in ye londe of Synear, & there they dwelt,
3 & saide one to another: Come on, let vs make bryck & burne it. And they toke bryck for stone, & slyme for morter,
4 And sayde: Come, let vs buylde a cite & a tower, whose toppe maye reach vnto heaue, yt we maye make vs a name, afore we be scatred abrode in all londes.
5 Then came ye LORDE downe, to se ye cite & tower, yt ye childre of me had buylded.
6 And ye LORDE saide: Beholde, the people is one, & haue one maner of language amoge the all, & this haue they begonne to do, & wil not leaue of from all yt they haue purposed to do.
7 Come on, let vs go downe, & cofounde their tonge eue there, yt one vnderstonde not what another saieth.
8 Thus ye LORDE scatred the fro thece in all lodes, so yt they left of to buylde the cite.
9 Therfore is it called Babell, because the LORDE cofounded there the language of all the worlde, and from thece scatred them abrode in to all londes.
