Genesis 11:7 in Context — Genesis 11
5 L’Éternel descendit pour voir la ville et la tour que bâtissaient les fils des hommes.
6 Et l’Éternel dit: Voici, ils forment un seul peuple et ont tous une même langue, et c’est là ce qu’ils ont entrepris; maintenant rien ne les empêcherait de faire tout ce qu’ils auraient projeté.
7 Allons! Descendons, et là confondons leur langage, afin qu’ils n’entendent plus la langue, les uns des autres.
8 Et l’Éternel les dispersa loin de là sur la face de toute la terre; et ils cessèrent de bâtir la ville.
9 C’est pourquoi on l’appela du nom de Babel, car c’est là que l’Éternel confondit le langage de toute la terre, et c’est de là que l’Éternel les dispersa sur la face de toute la terre.
