Genesis 11:4-9 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."

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 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." ⁵ And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the children of Adam had built. ⁶ 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. ⁷ Come on, let us descend and mingle their tongue even there, that one understand not what another sayeth." ⁸ Thus the LORD scattered them from thence upon all the earth. And they left off to build the city. ⁹ 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.
