3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
bible(KJV) [Gen11:3]>
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may
reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon
the face of the whole earth.
bible(KJV) [Gen11:4]>
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of
men builded.
bible(KJV) [Gen11:5]>
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do.
bible(KJV) [Gen11:6]>
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
bible(KJV) [Gen11:7]>
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the
earth: and they left off to build the city.
bible(KJV) [Gen11:8]>
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there
confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter
them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Babel is the name of a city, but Babylon is the name of a POLITY.
