All the world once spoke a single language,but this changed at Babel...
Men had been journeying east for many month when they came upon the land of Shinar "Come",they said."we have been traveling day without end. Let us build ourselves a city and a tower with a top in the heavens,and make a name for ourselves." But the Lord came down to see the city and tower which mortal men were building. And He said,"Here they are,one people with a single language ,and now they begun to do this After this nothing they went to do will be beyond their reach. Come let us go down there and confuse their speech.When we finish,they will have lost their one language and in its place there will be many." So the Lord went down to the city.And after He had done this,the city was given the name "Babel"because there the Lord had made a babel of the language of the world.
