The Tower of Babel
(Deuteronomy 32:8; Acts 2:1–13)

1And all the whole earth was of one language and lyke speache. 2And when they went foorth from the east, they founde a playne in the lande of Sinar, and there they abode. 3And one sayd to another: Come, let vs prepare brycke, and burne them in the fire. And they had brycke for stones, and slyme had they in steade of morter. 4And they sayd: Go to, let vs buylde vs a citie and a towre, whose toppe may reache vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest peraduenture we be scattered abrode into the vpper face of the whole earth. 5But the Lorde came downe to see the citie and towre whiche the chyldren of men buylded. 6And the Lorde sayd: Beholde, the people is one, and they haue all one language, and this they begin to do: neither is there any let to them from all those thinges whiche they haue imagined to do. 7Come on, let vs go downe, and there confounde their language, that euerye one perceaue not his neighbours speache. 8And so the Lorde scattered them from that place into the vpper face of all the earth, and they left of to buylde that citie. 9And therfore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord dyd there confounde the language of all the earth: and from thence dyd the Lorde scatter them abrode vpon the face of all the earth.
