1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they lived there.
3 They said one to another, 'Come, let's make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4 They said, 'Come, let's build us a city, and a tower, whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.'
