;
Gen. 11:1‑9• 1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
 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.
 3And 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 mortar.
 4And 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.
 5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
 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.
 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

• No other peoples were so distinguished at first with material grandeur, both in the plain of Shinar and in that remarkable country which lies along the Nile, that is, in both Asia and Africa; and that they were long the sole pioneers of commerce in west and east, north and south.
