Genesis 11:2 in Context — Genesis 11
1 Toute la terre avait une seule langue et les mêmes mots.
2 Comme ils étaient partis de l’orient, ils trouvèrent une plaine au pays de Schinear, et ils y habitèrent.
3 Ils se dirent l’un à l’autre: Allons! Faisons des briques, et cuisons-les au feu. Et la brique leur servit de pierre, et le bitume leur servit de ciment.
4 Ils dirent encore: Allons! Bâtissons-nous une ville et une tour dont le sommet touche au ciel, et faisons-nous un nom, afin que nous ne soyons pas dispersés sur la face de toute la terre.
