Genesis 11:8
11:8 So the Lord scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building the city.
Genesis 11:2-4
11:2 When the people
moved eastward,
they found a plain in Shinar
and settled there.
11:3 Then they said to one another,
“Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.”
(They had brick instead of stone and tar
instead of mortar.)
11:4 Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens
so that
we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise
we will be scattered
across the face of the entire earth.”
