They were like, "Aight, let’s whip up some bricks and get them fired up." They used bricks instead of stones and tar instead of mortar.
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. {they said...: Heb. a man said to his neighbour} {burn...: Heb. burn them to a burning}
They said, "Let’s construct a city and a tower that hits the sky. We need a name for ourselves to avoid getting scattered all over the place."
And they said, Go to, 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.
The Lord came down to check out the city and the tower the people were crafting.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
The Lord was like, "These peeps are united, and they all speak the same lingo. They’re just getting started, and nothing can kill their vibe."
And the LORD said, Behold, the people {is} one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
The Lord said, "Let’s roll down and confuse their language so they can’t vibe with each other."
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
So the Lord dispersed them all across the earth, and they halted construction on the city.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
That’s why it’s named Babel; the Lord jumbled up their languages there and scattered them all over the planet.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. {Babel: that is, Confusion}
