1. Mosebok 11,1

Hele jorden hadde nå ett språk og de samme ordene.

2 Da de reiste østover, oppdaget de en slette i landet Sinear og slo seg ned der.

3 De sa til hverandre: “Kom, la oss lage murstein og brenne dem grundig.” De brukte murstein i stedet for stein, og bek til mørtel.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
