Genesis 11:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ They said to each other, “Come, let us make oven-fired bricks.” They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.^{(A) 4} And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky.^(B) Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

⁵ Then the Lord came down^(C) to look over the city and the tower that the men were building.
