Iivesi zeBhayibhile ezithandwayo ezisuka Genesis 11

Yabelana

The LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, 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.”

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.”

Therefore its name is called Babylon, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth, and from there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

At one time the whole earth had the same language and vocabulary.

Then the LORD came down to look over the city and the tower that the men were building.

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