TOWER OF BABEL
The story behind its construction
Conceit of the People
After the Flood, man had again begun to multiply and fill the earth. They all spoke one
language and understood one another well. The generations of people before the Flood
had been interested only in themselves; they thought of themselves as supermen and
lived each one for himself alone. The people became proud and that caused them to turn
away from God.
They decided to build a tower which was to reach to heaven, to make them equal to God,
and at the same time, to make it possible for them to stay together. This symbol of their
divine strength, as they thought, was to be built in the valley of the Land of Shinear.
Their Punishment
God decided to destroy their arrogance by destroying their ability to understand one
another. He, therefore, confused the people by splitting them up into seventy different
nations and tribes, each with a language of its own, (hence the name Babel, meaning
confusion).
When this happened, the project of the Tower had to be given up. The various groups
migrated in different directions and settled in all parts of the world. The Tower itself was
partly burned and partly swallowed by the earth.
