Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
2 As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
And they sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter
4 They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
And they sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth.
5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
6 Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
And the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do.
7 Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth.
