The Tower of Babel
(Deuteronomy 32:8; Acts 2:1–13)

1And all the earth shall be one lip, and the same words. 2And it shall be in their removing from the east they shall find a valley in the land of Shmar; and they shall dwell there. 3And they shall say a man to his neighbor, Come, we will make bricks, and we will burn to a burning, and brick shall be to them for stone, and potter's clay shall be to them for potter's clay. 4And they will say, Come, we will build to us a city, and a tower, its head to the heavens; and we will make to us a name, lest we shall be dispersed over the face of the earth. 5And Jehovah will come down to see the city, and the tower which the sons of men built. 6And Jehovah will say, Behold, the people one, and one lip to them all; and this they begin to do: and now it will not be restrained from them all which they shall imagine to do. 7Come, we will come down and mix their lip that they shall not hear a man the lip of his neighbor. 8And Jehovah will disperse them from thence over the face of all the earth: and they will cease to build the city. 9Therefore its name was called confusion, for there Jehovah confounded the lip of all the earth: and from thence Jehovah dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
