Popular Bible Verses from Genesis 11

The LORD said, “These people all speak the same language. And I see that they are joined together to do this work. This is only the beginning of what they can do. Soon they will be able to do anything they want. Let’s go down and confuse their language. Then they will not understand each other.”

Then the people said, “Let’s build ourselves a city and a tower that will reach to the sky. Then we will be famous. This will keep us together so that we will not be scattered all over the earth.”

That is the place where the LORD confused the language of the whole world. That is why it is called Babel. And it was from there that the LORD caused the people to spread out to all the other places on earth.

There was a time when the whole world spoke one language. Everyone used the same words.

Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower.

So people stopped building the city, and the LORD scattered them all over the earth.
