Universal Language, Babel, Confusion

Gen 11:1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

Gen 11:2And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.

Gen 11:3

Gen 11:3And they said one to another, come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

Gen 11:4

Gen 11:4And they said, come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

Gen 11:5

Gen 11:5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men were building.

Gen 11:6

Gen 11:6And 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.

Gen 11:7

Gen 11:7Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

Gen 11:8

Gen 11:8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Gen 11:9

Gen 11:9Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the LORD there confounded the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
