Bereshis 11:3-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and bake them thoroughly. And they had brick for even (stone), and bitumen had they for mortar.

4. And they said, Come, let us build us an Ir and a Migdal, whose rosh (top) may reach unto Shomayim; and let us make us a shem, otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of kol HaAretz.

5. And Hashem came down to see the Ir and the Migdal, which Bnei HaAdam built.

6. And Hashem said, See, the Am is echad and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be impossible for them, which they have proposed to do.

7. Come, let Us go down, and there confuse their sefat, that they may not understand one another's language.

8. So Hashem scattered them abroad from there upon the face of kol Ha'Aretz; and they left off building the Ir.
