Genesis 11:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

The tower in Babel

11 At this time, everyone who lived on the earth spoke one language. They used the same words. ² People moved to the east. They reached a large flat piece of land called Shinar. They stayed there to live. ³ They said to each other, ‘We should make bricks and cook them until they are hard.’ These people used bricks instead of stones to build houses. They used tar to hold the bricks together, instead of cement.^[a]
