Lexham English Bible
4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top reaches to the heavens. And let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 Then[a] Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that humankind[b] was building. 6 And Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people with one language,[c] and this is only the beginning of what they will do.[d] So[e] now nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
