• Translation:

The entire world spoke the same language and the same words

While they came from the East, men arrived to a plane in the land of Shinear and they stop (their journey)

They said among themselves «Come, let's make some bricks cooked with the fire!» They used bricks instead of stones and bitumen instead of lime

Then they said «Come, let's build a high tower until the sky, we get famous, so that we will not disperse all over the world»

The Lord went down and saw the tower and the city, the sons of men were building

The Lord said «Watch, they are an unique population and speak an unique language; this is the beginning of their work: now they can do all that they want»

«Go down and mix their language, so that nobody understand the language of the other one»

And the Lord dispersed them all over the wold and they stop the construction of the city.

So the Lord gave the city the name of Babel, because there the Lord mixed the language of the entire world and from there He dispersed them all over the world.
