Noah had three sons, -- Shem, Ham, and Japeth--, who had many children,
and all these children had children, for God   them to multiply.
They all   together and the whole earth spoke one language.
They   in one area and   to build a city.
They   to build a tower tall enough to reach heaven.
If they   heaven, they could understand all the secrets of the world.

The Lord came down to see the city and the tower and was very   
He thought the people were arrogant because they   to reach heaven.
He went down and   their language
so that they couldn't understand each other.
The tower and the city were never   and the name was   Babel.

Next is Pieter Bruegel's painting of the Tower of Babel.
