Genesis 11:2-4 ▼

2 When they were migrating from the east, they came to a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.

3 They said to one another, “Come, let us mold bricks and harden them with fire.” They used bricks for stone, and bitumen for mortar.

4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered all over the earth.”
