Holy Bible - New King James Version(NKJV)

11:1	The Tower of BabelThe Tower of Babel Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.
11:2	And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
11:3	Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
11:4	And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
11:5	But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
11:6	And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
11:7	Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
11:8	So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
11:9	Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.Shem's Descendants
