- Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.
- It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
- They said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly." And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
- They said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
- The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
