8And Kush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before YHVH: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before YHVH. 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erek, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

GENESIS 11:1-9 (KJV)

painting

1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5And YHVH came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6And YHVH said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8So YHVH scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because YHVH did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did YHVH scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
