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

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

1 Og hele jorden hadde ett tungemål og ens tale.

9 Derfor kalte de den Babel; for der forvirret Herren hele jordens tungemål, og derfra spredte Herren dem ut over hele jorden.
