WEB·Genesis 11

¹The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

KJVAnd the whole earth^H776 was of one^H259 language^H8193, and of one^H259 speech^H1697.

² As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

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

³ They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

KJVAnd they said^H559^(H8799) one^H376 to another^H7453, Go to^H3051^(H8798), let us make^H3835^(H8799) brick^H3843, and burn^H8313^(H8799) them throughly^H8316. And they had brick^H3843 for stone^H68, and slime^H2564 had^H1961^(H8804) they for morter^H2563.

⁴ They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”

KJVAnd they said^H559^(H8799), Go to^H3051^(H8798), let us build^H1129^(H8799) us a city^H5892 and a tower^H4026, whose top^H7218 may reach unto heaven^H8064; and let us make^H6213^(H8799) us a name^H8034, lest we be scattered abroad^H6327^(H8799) upon the face^H6440 of the whole earth^H776.

⁵ Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 came down^H3381^(H8799) to see^H7200^(H8800) the city^H5892 and the tower^H4026, which the children^H1121 of men^H120 builded^H1129^(H8804).

⁶ Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

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

⁷ Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

KJVGo to^H3051^(H8798), let us go down^H3381^(H8799), and there confound^H1101^(H8799) their language^H8193, that^H834 they may not understand^H8085^(H8799) one^H376 another's^H7453 speech^H8193.

⁸ So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

KJVSo the LORD^H3068 scattered them abroad^H6327^(H8686) from thence^H8033 upon the face^H6440 of all the earth^H776: and they left off^H2308^(H8799) to build^H1129^(H8800) the city^H5892.

⁹ Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

KJVTherefore is the name of it^H8034 called^H7121^(H8804) Babel^H894; because the LORD^H3068 did there confound^H1101^(H8804) the language^H8193 of all the earth^H776: and from thence did^H6327 the LORD^H3068 scatter them abroad^H6327^(H8689) upon the face^H6440 of all the earth^H776.
