Genesis 11:5-9

Names of God Bible

⁵ Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that the descendants of Adam were building. ⁶ Yahweh said, “They are one people with one language. This is only the beginning of what they will do! Now nothing they plan to do will be too difficult for them. ⁷ Let us go down there and mix up their language so that they won’t understand each other.”

⁸ So Yahweh scattered them all over the face of the earth, and they stopped building the city. ⁹ This is why it was named Babel, because there Yahweh turned the language of the whole earth into babble. From that place Yahweh scattered them all over the face of the earth.
