Genesis 11:1-4 ▼

1 The whole earth had the same language and vocabulary.

2 As people migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.

3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make oven-fired bricks.” (They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.)

4 And they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let’s make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered throughout the earth.”
