OET (OET-LV)And_he/it_scattered YHWH DOM_them from_there over the_surface of_all the_earth/land and_they_stopped to_build the_city.

OET (OET-RV)So then they stopped building the city and Yahweh caused them to scatter over the whole world.

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יָּ֨פֶץ יְהוָ֥ה אֹתָ֛⁠ם מִ⁠שָּׁ֖ם

and=he/it_scattered YHWH DOM=them from=there

Alternate translation: “So Yahweh did that and caused the people to leave from there and spread out” or “That is how Yahweh caused the people to leave from there and settle in different places”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַל פְּנֵ֣י כָל הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of all the=earth/land

Alternate translation: “over the surface of the entire earth,” or “all over the earth”

וַֽ⁠יַּחְדְּל֖וּ לִ⁠בְנֹ֥ת

and=they_stopped to=build

Alternate translation: “so that they had to stop constructing”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

הָ⁠עִֽיר

the=city

For some languages it is better to change the order of clauses in this verse (so that events are in the order that they happened) and say, “In that way, Yahweh caused the people to stop building the city and the tower and to move away from each other, so that eventually they lived all over the world.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “the city and the tower.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

11:8 the Lord scattered them: Similarly, Adam and Eve’s punishment for grasping at autonomy and Cain’s punishment for murder involved banishment and dispersion (3:23; 4:12, 14; 9:19; 10:5, 25, 32).

OET (OET-LV)And_he/it_scattered YHWH DOM_them from_there over the_surface of_all the_earth/land and_they_stopped to_build the_city.

OET (OET-RV)So then they stopped building the city and Yahweh caused them to scatter over the whole world.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
