3 And each one said to his neighbor, 'Come, let us make bricks, and bake them with fire.' And they had bricks instead of stones, and pitch instead of mortar.
4 And they said: 'Come, let us make a city and a tower, so that its height may reach to heaven. And let us make our name famous before we are divided into all the lands.'
5 Then the Lord descended to see the city and the tower, which the sons of Adam were building.
6 And he said: 'Behold, the people are united, and all have one tongue. And since they have begun to do this, they will not desist from their plans, until they have completed their work.
7 Therefore, come, let us descend, and in that place confound their tongue, so that they may not listen, each one to the voice of his neighbor.'
