new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H776 And the whole earth H259 was of one H8193 language, H259 and of one H1697 speech.

2 H5265 [H8800] And it came to pass, as they journeyed H6924 from the east, H4672 [H8799] that they found H1237 a plain H776 in the land H8152 of Shinar; H3427 [H8799] and they dwelt there.

3 H559 [H8799] And they said H376 one H7453 to another, H3051 [H8798] come, H3835 [H8799] let us make H3843 brick, H8313 [H8799] and burn H8316 them thoroughly. H3843 And they had brick H68 for stone, H2564 and slime H1961 [H8804] had H2563 they for mortar.

4 H559 [H8799] And they said, H3051 [H8798] come, H1129 [H8799] let us build H5892 us a city H4026 and a tower, H7218 whose top H8064 may reach to heaven; H6213 [H8799] and let us make H8034 us a name, H6327 [H8799] lest we should be scattered abroad H6440 upon the face H776 of the whole earth.

5 H3068 And the LORD H3381 [H8799] came down H7200 [H8800] to see H5892 the city H4026 and the tower, H1121 which the sons H120 of men H1129 [H8804] were building.

6 H3068 And the LORD H559 [H8799] said, H5971 Behold, the people H259 is one, H259 and they have all one H8193 language; H2490 [H8687] and this they begin H6213 [H8800] to do: H3808 H3605 and now nothing H1219 [H8735] will be withheld H2161 [H8799] from them, which they have imagined H6213 [H8800] to do.

7 H3051 [H8798] Come, H3381 [H8799] let us go down, H1101 [H8799] and there mix H8193 their language, H834 that H8085 [H8799] they may not hear H376 one H7453 another's H8193 speech.

8 H3068 So the LORD H6327 [H8686] scattered them abroad H8033 from there H6440 upon the face H776 of all the earth: H2308 [H8799] and they stopped H1129 [H8800] building H5892 the city.

9 H8034 Therefore is the name of it H7121 [H8804] called H894 Babel; H3068 because the LORD H1101 [H8804] there mixed H8193 the language H776 of all the earth: H6327 0 and from there did H3068 the LORD H6327 [H8689] scatter them abroad H6440 upon the face H776 of all the earth.
