Genesis 11:7-9 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. ⁸ So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. ⁹ Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad on the face of all the earth.
