and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do. Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”

And they say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”

therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all the earth.

And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words

And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built

And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city
