Genesis 11:7-9 ▼

7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s language.”

8 So Yahweh scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.

9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth; and from there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
