Genesis 11:2 in Context — Genesis 11
1 ERA entonces toda la tierra de una lengua y unas mismas palabras.
2 Y aconteció que, como se partieron de oriente, hallaron una vega en la tierra de Shinar, y asentaron allí.
3 Y dijeron los unos á los otros: Vaya, hagamos ladrillo y cozámoslo con fuego. Y fuéles el ladrillo en lugar de piedra, y el betún en lugar de mezcla.
4 Y dijeron: Vamos, edifiquémonos una ciudad y una torre, cuya cúspide [llegue] al cielo; y hagámonos un nombre, por si fuéremos esparcidos sobre la faz de toda la tierra.
