Genesis 11:7-9
New Living Translation
7 Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.”
8 In that way, the Lord scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why the city was called Babel,[a] because that is where the Lord confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.
