Bereshis 11:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

² And it came to pass, as they migrated from the east, that they found a plain in Eretz Shinar; and they dwelt there.

³ And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and bake them thoroughly. And they had brick for even (stone), and bitumen had they for mortar.

⁴ And they said, Come, let us build us an Ir and a Migdal, whose rosh (top) may reach unto Shomayim; and let us make us a shem, otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of kol HaAretz.
