Genesis 11:8 DBY

⁶  And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.

⁷  Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

⁸  And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.

⁹  Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.

¹⁰  These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
