Genesis 11:3-5

American Standard Version

³ And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and ^[a]slime had they for mortar. ⁴ And they said, Come, 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. ⁵ And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
