Genesis 11:7-9 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech,––that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech,––that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend. ⁸ So Yahweh scattered them from thence, over the face of all the earth,––and so they left off building the city. ⁹ For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel[=" Confusion"]; because, there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth,––and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
