Genesis 11:7-9 Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another. ⁸ So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth: and they gave up building their town. ⁹ So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.
