Genesis 11:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And [a]as [b]they went from the [c]East, they found a plain in the land of [d]Shinar, and there they abode.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick and burn it in the fire, so they had brick for stone, and slime had they instead of mortar.
4 Also they said, Go to, let us [e]build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto the heaven, that we may get us a name, lest we be scattered upon the whole earth.
