Let us, then, go down and confound their speech there, so that they shall not understand one another’s speech.” Thus יהוה scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.
הָבוּ נִתְגְּלִי וּנְבַלְבֵּל תַּמָּן לִישָׁנְהוֹן דִּלָא יִשְׁמְעוּן אֱנַשׁ (גְּבַר) לִישַׁן חַבְרֵיהּ: וּבַדַּר יְיָ יָתְהוֹן מִתַּמָּן עַל אַפֵּי כָל אַרְעָא וּמְנָעוּ לְמִבְנֵי (נ"י וְאִתְמְנָעוּ מִלְּמִבְנֵי) קַרְתָּא:
Come, let us descend [let us be revealed] and jumble their language, that they will not understand one another’s language. Adonoy scattered them from there all over the face of the earth, and they stopped building the city.
וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְשַׁבְעִין מַלְאָכַיָא דְקַיְימִין קוֹמוֹי אִיתוּן כְּדֵין וְנָחִית וּנְעַרְבְּבָא תַּמָן לִישַׁנְהוֹן דְלָא יִשְׁמְעוּן אֱינַשׁ לִישָׁן חַבְרֵיהּ וְאִגְלִיאַת מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ עֲלוֹי קַרְתָּא וְעִמֵיהּ שׁוּבְעִין מַלְאָכַיָא כָּל קְבֵל שׁוּבְעִין עַמְמַיָא וְכָל חַד וְחַד לִישָׁן עַמְמֵיהּ (נ"א וְרוֹשָׁם כַּתְבֵיהּ) (וּמִשָׁם כַּפְתֵיהּ) בִּידֵיהּ וּבַדְרִינוּן מִתַּמָן עַל אַנְפֵּי כָּל אַרְעָא לְשַׁבְעִין לִישְׁנִין וְלָא הֲוָה יָדַע חַד מַה דְיֵימַר חַבְרֵיהּ וַהֲווֹ קַטְלִין דֵין לְדֵין וּפְסָקוּ מִלִמִבְנֵי קַרְתָּא
And the Lord said to the seventy angels which stand before Him, Come, we will descend and will there commingle their language, that a man shall not understand the speech of his neighbour. And the Word of the Lord was revealed against the city, and with Him seventy angels, having reference to seventy nations, each having its own language, and thence the writing of its own hand: and He dispersed them from thence upon the face of all the earth into seventy languages. And one knew not what his neighbour would say: but one slew the other; and they ceased from building the city.
