The Tower of Babel
1
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.

Καὶ ἦν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ Χεῖλος ἕν, κοὶ φωνὴ μία πᾶσιν. — LXX Swete · 1
2
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar - instead of mortar.
וַיֹּאמְר֞וּ אֶל־ אִ֣ישׁ רֵעֵ֗הוּ הָ֚בָה נִלְבְּנָ֣ה לְבֵנִ֔ים וְנִשְׂרְפָ֖ה לִשְׂרֵפָ֑ה וַתְּהִ֨י לָהֶ֤ם הַלְּבֵנָה֙ לְאָ֔בֶן וְהַ֣חֵמָ֔ר הָיָ֥ה לָהֶ֖ם לַחֹֽמֶר׃ way·yō·mə·rū ’el- ’îš rê·‘ê·hū hā·ḇāh nil·bə·nāh lə·ḇê·nîm wə·niś·rə·p̄āh liś·rê·p̄āh wat·tə·hî lā·hem hal·lə·ḇê·nāh lə·’ā·ḇen wə·ha·ḥê·mār hā·yāh lā·hem la·ḥō·mer — WLC · 3

“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
הָ֣בָה׀ וַיֹּאמְר֞וּ נִבְנֶה־ לָּ֣נוּ עִ֗יר וּמִגְדָּל֙ וְרֹאשׁ֣וֹ בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְנַֽעֲשֶׂה־ שֵׁ֑ם לָּ֖נוּ פֶּן־ נָפ֖וּץ עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י כָל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ hā·ḇāh way·yō·mə·rū niḇ·neh- lā·nū ‘îr ū·miḡ·dāl wə·rō·šōw ḇaš·šā·ma·yim wə·na·‘ă·śeh- šêm lā·nū pen- nā·p̄ūṣ ‘al- pə·nê ḵāl hā·’ā·reṣ — WLC · 4

5
Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
יְהוָ֔ה וַיֵּ֣רֶד לִרְאֹ֥ת אֶת־ הָעִ֖יר וְאֶת־ הַמִּגְדָּ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָֽם׃ בָּנ֖וּ Yah·weh way·yê·reḏ lir·’ōṯ ’eṯ- hā·‘îr wə·’eṯ- ham·miḡ·dāl ’ă·šer bə·nê hā·’ā·ḏām bā·nū — WLC · 5
καὶ κατέβη κύριος ἰδεῖν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων. — LXX Swete · 5
6
And [[YHWH|the LORD]] said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same… language, then nothing… they devise… will be beyond them.

7
Come, let Us go down… and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
הָ֚בָה נֵֽרְדָ֔ה שָׁ֖ם וְנָבְלָ֥ה שְׂפָתָ֑ם אֲשֶׁר֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁמְע֔וּ אִ֖ישׁ רֵעֵֽהוּ׃ שְׂפַ֥ת hā·ḇāh nê·rə·ḏāh šām wə·nā·ḇə·lāh śə·p̄ā·ṯām ’ă·šer lō yiš·mə·‘ū ’îš rê·‘ê·hū śə·p̄aṯ — WLC · 7

8
So [[YHWH|the LORD]] scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
יְהוָ֥ה אֹתָ֛ם וַיָּ֨פֶץ מִשָּׁ֖ם עַל־ פְּנֵ֣י כָל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיַּחְדְּל֖וּ לִבְנֹ֥ת הָעִֽיר׃ Yah·weh ’ō·ṯām way·yā·p̄eṣ miš·šām ‘al- pə·nê ḵāl hā·’ā·reṣ way·yaḥ·də·lū liḇ·nōṯ hā·‘îr — WLC · 8

9
That is why… it is called Babel, for there [[YHWH|the LORD]] confused the language of the whole world, and from that place [[YHWH|the LORD]] scattered them over the face of all the earth.
