Genesis 11

5 Then*Or "And" Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that humankind*Literally "sons of Adam" or "sons of humankind" was building. 6 And Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people with one language,*Literally "one people and one language to all of them" and this is only the beginning of what they will do.*Literally "and this they begin to do" So*Or "And" now nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand each other’s language."*Literally "each the language of his companion"8 So Yahweh scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, for there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth, and there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
