Genesis 11:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.” And they used brick for stone, and they used ^(A)tar for mortar. ⁴ They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top ^(B)will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves ^(C)a name, otherwise we ^(D)will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” ^5 (E)The Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
