1. Mosebok 11,7

Judgment

5 Herren kom ned for å se byen og tårnet som menneskene bygde.

6 Herren sa: “Se, de er ett folk med samme språk, og dette er hva de har begynt å gjøre. Nå vil ingenting de planlegger være umulig for dem.

Kom, la oss gå ned og forvirre språket deres så de ikke forstår hverandres tale.”

8 Så spredte Herren dem derfra over hele jordens overflate, og de sluttet å bygge byen.

9 Derfor ble den kalt Babel, fordi der forvirret Herren hele jordens språk. Derfra spredte Herren dem over hele jordens overflate.

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.
