Genesis 11

5 Forsooth the Lord came down to see the city, and the tower, which the sons of Adam builded.

6 And he said, Lo! the people is one, and one language is to all, and they have begun to make this; neither they shall cease of their thoughts, till they [ful] fill those [or them] in work;

7 therefore come ye, go we down, and shame [or confound] we there the tongue of them, that each man hear not the voice of his neighbour.

8 And so the Lord separated them from that place into all lands; and they ceased to build the city.

9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, for the language of all [the] earth was confounded there; and from thence the Lord scattered them on the face of all countries.
