“And the whole earth was of one language,
and of one speech… And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a
tower, whose top may reach unto heaven… And the Lord came down
to see the city and the tower… And the Lord said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now
nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go
to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may
not understand one another’s speech.
“So the Lord scattered them abroad from
thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the
city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did
there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the
Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.” (Genesis, Chapter 11, Verses 1-9)[link]
