lyrics

LYRICS:

And the whole Earth was of one language and of singular expressions [Genesis 11:1]... “Let’s build for ourselves a city and a tower, with its beginning in the heavens, and we’ll make for ourselves a monument” [Genesis 11:4]... [G-d:] “They’re one people, and they’ve got one language for all of them, and this is what they intend to do? From now on, nothing they set out to accomplish shall be withheld.” [Genesis 11:6]

וַיְהִ֥י כָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ שָׂפָ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת וּדְבָרִ֖ים אֲחָדִֽים [בראשית יא:א] … הָ֣בָה ׀ נִבְנֶה־לָּ֣נוּ עִ֗יר וּמִגְדָּל֙ וְרֹאשׁ֣וֹ בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְנַֽעֲשֶׂה־לָּ֖נוּ שֵׁ֑ם [בראשית יא:ד] … הֵ֣ן עַ֤ם אֶחָד֙ וְשָׂפָ֤ה אַחַת֙ לְכֻלָּ֔ם וְזֶ֖ה הַֽחִלָּ֣ם לַֽעֲשׂ֑וֹת וְעַתָּה֙ לֹֽא־יִבָּצֵ֣ר מֵהֶ֔ם כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָֽזְמ֖וּ לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת [בראשית יא:ו]ו

Va-yehi kol ha-’aretz safa echat udvarim achadim. Hava nivne lanu ir umigdal ve-rosho bashamayim, ve-naase lanu shem. Hen am echad ve-safa achat le-chulam, ve-ze hachilam laasot, ve-ata lo yibatzer me-hem kol asher yazmu la-asot.
