Genesis 11:5 in Context — Genesis 11
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.
5 Y descendió Jehová para ver la ciudad y la torre que edificaban los hijos de los hombres.
6 Y dijo Jehová: He aquí el pueblo es uno, y todos éstos tienen un lenguaje: y han comenzado á obrar, y nada les retraerá ahora de lo que han pensando hacer.
7 Ahora pues, descendamos, y confundamos allí sus lenguas, para que ninguno entienda el habla de su compañero.
