And the whole earth was of one language and one speech.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

And they said one to another, “Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and slime for mortar.

And they said, “Come, let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach heaven.”

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which they had built.

And the Lord said, “Behold, the people are one, and they have one language. Nothing will be withheld from them that they imagined to do. Come, let us go down, and confound their language.”

So the Lord went down and scattered them upon the face of the earth and they stopped building.

—Gen 11:1–9, KJV
