Genesis 11:8-9

New International Version (NIV)

So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel[a]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Footnotes:

  1. Genesis 11:9 That is, Babylon; Babel sounds like the Hebrew for confused.
