Once upon a time all the world spoke a single language and used the same words. As
men journeyed in the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled
there.
They said to one another,
'Come, let us make bricks and bake them hard'; they used bricks for stone and bitumen
for mortar.' Come,' they said, 'let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the
heavens, and make a name for ourselves; or we shall be dispersed all over the earth'

Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which mortal men had built,
and he said,' Here they are, one people with a single language, and now they have
started to do this; henceforward nothing they have a mind to do will be beyond their
reach. ' Come let us go down there and confuse their speech,so that they will not
understand what they say to one another.'
