4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.”(A) 5 The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built.(B) 6 And the Lord said, “Look, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.(C) 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”(D) 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.(E) 9 Therefore it was called Babel,[a] 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.(F)

4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens,(A) so that we may make a name(B) for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered(C) over the face of the whole earth.”(D)
5 But the Lord came down(E) to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language(F) they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us(G) go down(H) and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”(I)
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth,(J) and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[a](K)—because there the Lord confused the language(L) of the whole world.(M) From there the Lord scattered(N) them over the face of the whole earth.

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