Genesis 11:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 And they said to each other,[a] “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.”[b] And they had brick for stone and they had tar for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top reaches to the heavens. And let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 Then[c] Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that humankind[d] was building.
