THE TOWER OF BABEL
And the whole earth is of one lip and of one word. 2 And so be it, as they pull stakes from the east, they find a valley in the land of Shinar and settle there. 3 And they say, man to friend, Give, we make brick and in burning, burn them; the brick is for stone and bitumin is for morter. 4 And they say, Give, we build us a city and a tower whose top is to the heavens; and we work us a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the face of the whole earth. 5 And Yah Veh descends to see the city and the tower the sons of humanity build: 6 and Yah Veh says, Behold, the people is one with one lip to all; and they begin to work this: and now naught is clipped from them, of which they intrigue to work. 7 Give, we descend and mix up their lip, that man not hear the lip of his friend. 8 And from there, Yah Veh scatters them abroad on the face of all the earth: and they cease to build the city. 9 So the name thereof is called Babel; because there Yah Veh mixes up the lip of all the earth: and from there Yah Veh scatters them abroad on the face of all the earth.
