Ayat Alkitab yang Popular daripada Genesis 11

Kongsi

And Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they have begun to do. So now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s language.”

And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth; and from there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Now the whole earth had the same language and the same words.

Then Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

So Yahweh scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.
