1 En de ganse aarde was van enerlei spraak en enerlei woorden.

9 Daarom noemde men haar naam Babel; want aldaar verwarde de HEERE de spraak der ganse aarde, en van daar verstrooide hen de HEERE over de ganse aarde.

1 And all the earth had one language and one tongue.

9 So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.
