Genesis 11:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
1
Now all the earth used the same language and the same words.
2
And it came about, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3
Then they said to one another, 'Come, let’s make bricks and fire
them
thoroughly.' And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
4
And they said, 'Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top
will reach
into heaven, and let’s make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.'
5
Now the
Lord
came down to see the city and the tower which the men had built.
6
And the
Lord
said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they have started to do, and now nothing which they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7
Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.'
King James Version
Chapter 11
1
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5
And the
Lord
came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6
And the
Lord
said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
1
The whole earth had the same language and vocabulary.
2
As people migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3
They said to each other, "Come, let us make oven-fired bricks." (They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.)
4
And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered throughout the earth."
5
Then the
Lord
came down to look over the city and the tower that the humans were building.
6
The
Lord
said, "If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7
Come, let’s go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another’s speech."
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
1
At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.
2
As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there.
3
They began saying to each other, 'Let’s make bricks and harden them with fire.' (In this region bricks were used instead of stone, and tar was used for mortar.)
4
Then they said, 'Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.'
5
But the
Lord
came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building.
6
Look!' he said. 'The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!
7
Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.'
English Standard Version

2
And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3
And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
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, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth."
5
And the
Lord
came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.
6
And the
Lord
said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
7
Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another 's speech."
New International Version
Chapter 11
1
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2
As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3
They said to each other, "Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4
Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5
But the
Lord
came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6
The
Lord
said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

5
But the
Lord
came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
6
And the
Lord
said, “Indeed the people
are
one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
7
Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
