Bereshis 11:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ Come, let Us go down, and there confuse their sefat, that they may not understand one another’s language.

⁸ So Hashem scattered them abroad from there upon the face of kol Ha’Aretz; and they left off building the Ir.

⁹ Therefore is the shem of it called Babel; because Hashem did there confuse the language of kol Ha’Aretz; and from there did Hashem scatter them abroad upon the face of kol Ha’Aretz.
