Genesis 11:6-9 And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs. ⁷ Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another. ⁸ So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town. ⁹ So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.
