Thematic Bible: The confusion of languages

So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, - and of one stock of words. And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there. Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, - So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them for mortar, read more.
And they said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, - lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth. And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, - which the sons of men had built. Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, - now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan to do. Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, - that they may not under-stand, each man the speech of his friend. So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, - and so they left off building the city. For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, - and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
