(Genesis 11:4-8) And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth." Then the LORD came down to look over the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, "If, as one people all having the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another's speech." So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.
