Genesis 11:3-5

Modern English Version

³ They said to each other, “Let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone and tar for mortar. ⁴ Then they said, “Come, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top will reach to heaven, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

⁵ But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men built.
