Genesis 11:1-22

11:1

And the whole earth
<0776>

was of one
<0259>

language
<08193>_,

and of one
<0259>

speech
<01697>_.

{language: Heb. lip.} {speech: Heb. words}

11:2

And it came to pass, as they journeyed
<05265> (8800)

from the east
<06924>_,

that they found
<04672> (8799)

a plain
<01237>

in the land
<0776>

of Shinar
<08152>_;

and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

there. {from...: or, eastward}

11:3

And they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

let us make
<03835> (8799)

brick
<03843>_,

and burn
<08313> (8799)

them throughly
<08316>_.

And they had brick
<03843>

for stone
<068>_,

and slime
<02564>

had
<01961> (8804)

they for morter
<02563>_.

{they said...: Heb. a man said to his neighbour} {burn...: Heb. burn them to a burning}

11:4

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

let us build
<01129> (8799)

us a city
<05892>

and a tower
<04026>_,

whose top
<07218>

[may reach] unto heaven
<08064>_;

and let us make
<06213> (8799)

us a name
<08034>_,

lest we be scattered abroad
<06327> (8799)

upon the face
<06440>

of the whole earth
<0776>_.

11:5

And the LORD
<03068>

came down
<03381> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

the city
<05892>

and the tower
<04026>_,

which the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>

builded
<01129> (8804)_.

11:6

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, the people
<05971>

[is] one
<0259>_,

and they have all one
<0259>

language
<08193>_;

and this they begin
<02490> (8687)

to do
<06213> (8800)_:

and now nothing
<03808> <03605>

will be restrained
<01219> (8735)

from them, which they have imagined
<02161> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)_.

11:7

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

let us go down
<03381> (8799)_,

and there confound
<01101> (8799)

their language
<08193>_,

that
<0834>

they may not understand
<08085> (8799)

one
<0376>

another's
<07453>

speech
<08193>_.

11:8

So the LORD
<03068>

scattered them abroad
<06327> (8686)

from thence
<08033>

upon the face
<06440>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

and they left off
<02308> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

the city
<05892>_.

11:9

Therefore is the name of it
<08034>

called
<07121> (8804)

Babel
<0894>_;

because the LORD
<03068>

did there confound
<01101> (8804)

the language
<08193>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

and from thence did
<06327> (0)

the LORD
<03068>

scatter them abroad
<06327> (8689)

upon the face
<06440>

of all the earth
<0776>_.

{Babel: that is, Confusion}
