Genesis 11:2-9

MLV(i) 2 And it happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone and they had tar for mortar. 4 And they said, Come, let us build a city for us and a tower and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for ourselves, lest we are scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of man built.
6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language and this is what they begin to do. And now nothing will be withheld from them, which they propose to do. 7 Come, let Us go down there and confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Jehovah confounded the language of all the earth there and Jehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth from there.
