EN/HEע/E
  וַיֵּרֶד ה' לִרְאֹת  
עִיר וּמִגְדָּל    הָעִיר וְאֶת הַמִּגְדָּל 
נִבְנֶה לָּנוּ   אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ בְּנֵי הָאָדָם
הָבָה נִלְבְּנָה לְבֵנִים   הָבָה נֵרְדָה וְנָבְלָה
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל רֵעֵהוּ   לֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ אִישׁ שְׂפַת רֵעֵהוּ
וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם   וַיָּפֶץ ה' אֹתָם מִשָּׁם
בְּאֶרֶץ שִׁנְעָר   קָרָא שְׁמָהּ בָּבֶל
וַיְהִי כָל הָאָרֶץ שָׂפָה אֶחָת   שָׁם בָּלַל ה' שְׂפַת כָּל הָאָרֶץ
