2 And it happened whan they wente furth from the east, they founde a playne in the londe of Sinhar, & there they abode.
3 And they sayd euery one to his neyghboure: Come, let vs prepare brycke, & burne them in the fyre. And they had brycke for stone, & slyme had they in steade of morter.
4 And they sayde: Go to, let vs buylde vs a citie & a tower, whose toppe maye reach vnto heauen: & let vs make vs a name, lest haply we be scatred abrode in to the vpper face of the whole erth.
5 But the Lord came downe, to se the cytie and tower whych the chyldren of men buylded.
6 And the Lorde sayde: Beholde, the people is one, and they haue all one language, & thys they begynne to do, neyther wyll it be restrayned from them, whatsoeuer they haue ymagined to do.
7 Come on, let vs go downe, and confounde theyr language, that euery one perceaue not hys neyghbours speche.
8 And so the Lorde scatred them from that place into the vpper face of all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cytie.
