2 When the people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 Then they said to one another, |Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.| (They had brick instead of stone and tar instead of mortar.) 4 Then they said, |Come, let's build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth.| Genesis 11:2-4, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
