The story: The whole earth was of one language, and the people 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." The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, and He confounded (mixed up) their language so that they could not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth, and they left off to build the city.
