And as they
came from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sinear, and
there they dwelled. And they said one to another: come on, let us
make brick and burn it with fire. So brick was their stone and
slime was their mortar. And they said: Come on, let us build us a
city and a tower, that the top may reach unto heaven. And let us
make us a name, for peradventure we shall be scattered abroad over
all the earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the
tower which the children of Adam had builded. And the LORD said:
See, the people is one and have one tongue among them all: And
this have they begun to do, and will not leave off from all that
they have purposed to do. Come on, let us descend and mingle their
tongue even there, that one understand not what another sayeth.
Thus the LORD scattered them from thence upon all the earth. And
they left off to build the city. Wherefore the name of it is
called Babel, because that the LORD there confounded the tongue of
all the world. And because that the LORD from thence, scattered
them abroad upon all the earth. These are the generations of Sem:
Sem was an hundred year old and begat Arphachsad two years after
the flood. And Sem lived after he had beget Arphachsad five
hundred years and begot sons and daughters.
