1. Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.
|
1. And the whole H3605 earth H776 was H1961 of one H259 language H8193 , and of one H259 speech H1697 .
|
2. And as men traveled in the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and made their home there.
|
2. And it came to pass H1961 , as they journeyed H5265 from the east H4480 H6924 , that they found H4672 a plain H1237 in the land H776 of Shinar H8152 ; and they dwelt H3427 there H8033 .
|
3. They said to one another, "Come, let us make blocks and burn them until they are hard." They used blocks for stone, and tar to hold them together.
|
3. And they said H559 one H376 to H413 another H7453 , Go to H3051 , let us make H3835 brick H3843 , and burn H8313 them throughly H8316 . And they had H1961 brick H3843 for stone H68 , and slime H2564 had H1961 they for mortar H2563 .
|
4. Then they said, "Come, let us build a city for ourselves, with a tower that touches the heavens. Let us make a name for ourselves, or else we may be sent everywhere over the whole earth."
|
4. And they said H559 , Go to H3051 , let us build H1129 us a city H5892 and a tower H4026 , whose top H7218 may reach unto heaven H8064 ; and let us make H6213 us a name H8034 , lest H6435 we be scattered abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the whole H3605 earth H776 .
|
5. Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built.
|
5. And the LORD H3068 came down H3381 to see H7200 H853 the city H5892 and the tower H4026 , which H834 the children H1121 of men H120 built H1129 .
|
6. And the Lord said, "See, they are one people, and they all have the same language. This is only the begin-ning of what they will do. Now all they plan to do will be possible for them.
|
6. And the LORD H3068 said H559 , Behold H2005 , the people H5971 is one H259 , and they have all H3605 one H259 language H8193 ; and this H2088 they begin H2490 to do H6213 : and now H6258 nothing H3808 H3605 will be restrained H1219 from H4480 them, which H834 they have imagined H2161 to do H6213 .
|
7. Come, let Us go down and mix up their language so they will not understand what each other says."
|
7. Go to H3051 , let us go down H3381 , and there H8033 confound H1101 their language H8193 , that H834 they may not H3808 understand H8085 one H376 another H7453 's speech H8193 .
|
8. So the Lord sent them everywhere over the whole earth. And they stopped building the city.
|
8. So the LORD H3068 scattered them abroad H6327 H853 from thence H4480 H8033 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth H776 : and they left off H2308 to build H1129 the city H5892 .
|
9. So the name of the city was Babel, because there the Lord mixed up the language of the whole earth. The Lord sent the people everywhere over the whole earth.
|
9. Therefore H5921 H3651 is the name H8034 of it called H7121 Babel H894 ; because H3588 the LORD H3068 did there H8033 confound H1101 the language H8193 of all H3605 the earth H776 : and from thence H4480 H8033 did the LORD H3068 scatter them abroad H6327 upon H5921 the face H6440 of all H3605 the earth H776 .
