Genesis 11:1-9

JuliaSmith(i) 1 And all the earth shall be one lip, and the same words. 2 And it shall be in their removing from the east they shall find a valley in the land of Shmar; and they shall dwell there. 3 And they shall say a man to his neighbor, Come, we will make bricks, and we will burn to a burning, and brick shall be to them for stone, and potter's clay shall be to them for potter's clay. 4 And they will say, Come, we will build to us a city, and a tower, its head to the heavens; and we will make to us a name, lest we shall be dispersed over the face of the earth. 5 And Jehovah will come down to see the city, and the tower which the sons of men built 6 And Jehovah will say, Behold, the people one, and one lip to them all; and this they begin to do: and now it will not be restrained from them all which they shall imagine to do. 7 Come, we will come down and mix their lip that they shall not hear a man the lip of his neighbor. 8 And Jehovah will disperse them from thence over the face of all the earth: and they will cease to build the city. 9 Therefore its name was called confusion, for there Jehovah confounded the lip of all the earth: and from thence Jehovah dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
