1 All|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" inhabitants of|strong="H1697" the|strong="H3605" earth had|strong="H1961" one|strong="H3605" language|strong="H8193" and|strong="H1697" vocabulary;
2 and|strong="H8033" as|strong="H1961" they|strong="H8033" travelled westward, they|strong="H8033" found|strong="H4672" a|strong="H3068" broad|strong="H1237" valley|strong="H1237" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H1961" land of|strong="H3427" Shinar|strong="H8152", and|strong="H8033" made|strong="H1961" their|strong="H1961" home there|strong="H8033".
3 Then|strong="H1961" they said one|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" another|strong="H7453", ‘Come|strong="H1961", let|strong="H1961" us|strong="H3051" make|strong="H3835" bricks|strong="H3843" and|strong="H7453" thoroughly|strong="H8316" bake them|strong="H8313".’ So|strong="H1961" they had|strong="H1961" bricks|strong="H3843" for|strong="H1961" stone and|strong="H7453" asphalt for|strong="H1961" mortar|strong="H2563".
4 They|strong="H5921" said, ‘Come|strong="H3051", let us|strong="H3051" build|strong="H1129" ourselves|strong="H1129" a|strong="H3068" city|strong="H5892", and|strong="H8064" a|strong="H3068" tower|strong="H4026" whose|strong="H8034" top|strong="H7218" will|strong="H5892" touch the|strong="H3605" heavens|strong="H8064". We|strong="H6213" will|strong="H5892" make|strong="H6213" a|strong="H3068" landmark, so|strong="H6213" that|strong="H3605" we|strong="H3068" are|strong="H8064" not|strong="H6213" scattered|strong="H6327" over|strong="H5921" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" earth|strong="H8064".’
5 But|strong="H7200" when|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w* came|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381" to|strong="H3381" see|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" city|strong="H5892" and|strong="H1121" tower|strong="H4026" that|strong="H7200" people|strong="H1121" had|strong="H3068" built|strong="H1129",
6 he|strong="H6213" said, ‘See|strong="H2005", they|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" one|strong="H2088" people|strong="H5971" and|strong="H3068" all|strong="H3605" have|strong="H3068" one|strong="H2088" language|strong="H8193". This|strong="H2088" is|strong="H3068" only|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" beginning|strong="H2490" of|strong="H3068" their|strong="H3605" activity, and|strong="H3068" now|strong="H6258" nothing|strong="H3808" that|strong="H5971" they|strong="H1992" propose to|strong="H3068" do|strong="H6213" will|strong="H3068" seem too|strong="H3808" difficult for|strong="H6213" them|strong="H1992".
7 Come|strong="H3381", let|strong="H3381" us|strong="H3051" go|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381" there|strong="H8033" and|strong="H8033" confuse|strong="H1101" their|strong="H8085" language|strong="H8193", so|strong="H3808" that|strong="H8085" they|strong="H8033" do|strong="H8193" not|strong="H3808" understand|strong="H8085" each other|strong="H7453"’s speech|strong="H8193".’
8 So|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w* scattered|strong="H6327" them|strong="H5921" from|strong="H6440" there|strong="H8033" over|strong="H5921" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" earth; and|strong="H3068" they|strong="H8033" ceased|strong="H2308" building|strong="H1129" the|strong="H3605" city|strong="H5892".
9 That|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3068" why|strong="H5921" they|strong="H3588" named|strong="H7121" it|strong="H7121" Babel, for|strong="H3588" there|strong="H8033" the|strong="H3605" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w* confused|strong="H1101" the|strong="H3605" language|strong="H8193" of|strong="H3068" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" inhabitants of|strong="H3068" earth and|strong="H3068" scattered|strong="H6327" them|strong="H5921" over|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" whole|strong="H3605" world.
