4 And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city and a tower, and its top in the heavens, and let us make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.” 5 And YHWH came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built. 6 And YHWH said, “Behold, the people are one, and one language is to them all, and this they have begun to do. And now nothing will be restrained from them of all that they devise to do. 7 Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language, so that one man may not understand the language of his companion.” 8 And YHWH scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased to build the city. 9 Upon thus its name is called Babel, for there YHWH confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH scattered them over the face of all the earth.
