Babel

Genesis 11 recounts the story of the Tower of Babel. After the flood, humanity continued to multiply and settled in the land of Shinar. As they migrated eastward, they decided to build a city and a tower that reached to the heavens, intending to make a name for themselves and prevent themselves from being scattered across the earth.

However, God saw their pride and arrogance and decided to intervene. He confounded their language, causing them to speak different languages, so they could no longer understand each other. This linguistic confusion led to chaos, and the people abandoned their construction project and scattered across the earth, forming different nations and cultures.
