| 1. | And the whole world had one language and the same words. |
| 2. | But it happened, that as they travelled from the east, they found a plain [lit. a flat piece of land] in the land Shinar, and they dwelt there. |
| 3. | And a man said unto his friend: “Come! Let us make bricks and burn them well.” And the bricks were stones for them, and clay was mortar for them. |
| 4. | And they said: “Come, let us build a city and a tower, top of which will reach heaven. And we will make us a name, so that we will not be scattered over the whole world.” |
| 5. | Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, that the children of man were building. |
| 6. | And the Lord said: “Behold! One people and one language for all, and this is what they began to do. And now, nothing will be impossible for them, whatever they would want to do. |
| 7. | Behold! We will come down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand each other’s language.” |
| 8. | And the Lord scattered them from there over the whole world, and they ceased building the city. |
| 9. | For that reason [lit. with that right] it is called Babel, because the Lord confused the language of the whole word, and from there the Lord scattered them over the whole world. |

The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveller came along wrapped in a warm coat. They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveller take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other. Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveller fold his cloak around him; and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shone out warmly, and immediately the traveller took off his cloak. And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the sun was the stronger of the two.
