came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth.
Gen 9:11 I
establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut
off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood
to destroy the earth."
Gen 9:12 And God said, "This is the sign of
the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature
that is with you, for all future generations:
Gen 9:13 I have set
my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me
and the earth.
Gen 9:14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth, a
rainbow will appear in the clouds.
Gen 9:15 Then I will remember my
promise to you and every living animal. Never again will water become a
flood to destroy all life.
Gen 9:16 Whenever the rainbow appears
in the clouds, I will see it and remember my everlasting promise to
every living animal on earth."
Gen 9:17 So God said to Noah, "This
is the sign of the promise I am making to all life on earth."

found a plain in Shinar [Babylonia] and settled there.

They said to one another, "Let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly."
They used bricks as stones and tar as mortar.

said, "Let's build a city for ourselves and a tower with its top in the
sky. Let's make a name for ourselves so that we won't become scattered
all over the face of the earth."

Gen 11:5 And the LORD
came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had
built.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people,
and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what
they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible
for them.
Gen 11:7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their
language, so that they may not understand one another's speech."
Gen
11:8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the
earth, and they left off building the city.
Gen 11:9 Therefore its
name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of
all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of
all the earth.

GOD SCATTERED THE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE EARTH
Gen 11:6 and he said, "Now then,
these are all one people and they speak one language; this is just the
beginning of what they are going to do. Soon they will be able to do
anything they want!
Gen 11:7 Let us go down and mix up their
language so that they will not understand each other."
Gen 11:8 So
the LORD scattered them all over the earth, and they stopped building
the city.
Gen 11:9 The city was called Babylon, because there the
LORD mixed up the language of all the people, and from there he
scattered them all over the earth.
