Come, let&#8217;s go down and confuse<n id="1" /> their language so they won&#8217;t be able to understand each other.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">The whole earth<n id="1" /> had a common language and a common vocabulary.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, &#8220;In my dream I was standing<n id="1" /> by the edge of the Nile.

Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile,<n id="1" /> and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river.<n id="2" />

And the <sc>Lordsc> said, &#8220;If as one people all sharing a common language<n id="1" /> they have begun to do this, then<n id="2" /> nothing they plan to do will be beyond them.<n id="3" />

That is why its name was called<n id="1" /> Babel<n id="2" /> &#8211; because there the <sc>Lordsc> confused the language of the entire world, and from there the <sc>Lordsc> scattered them across the face of the entire earth.p>

I will indeed bless you,<n id="1" /> and I will greatly multiply<n id="2" /> your descendants<n id="3" /> so that they will be as countless as the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession<n id="4" /> of the strongholds<n id="5" /> of their enemies.
