E     And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. (Gen 11:3)
F      And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,
F      whose top may reach unto heaven; (Gen 11:4)
G       And let us make us a name,
G       lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (Gen 11:4)
X          And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower,
X          which the children of men builded. (Gen 11:5)

A' because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: (Gen 11:9)
A' and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. (Gen 11:9)
