Later Chapters of Genesis, see Abraham, Jacob and Joseph Therefore is the name of it called Babel because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.” So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language and this they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children built. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they dwelt there. The phrase "the Tower of Babel" does not actually appear in the Bible it is always, "the city and its tower." Several generations after the Great Flood of Noah’s time humanity came together, Genesis 11:1-9 reads: “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. Sometimes it is linked with Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, who "dreamed, and behold a ladder set up to the earth, and the top it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending it." Tower of Babel The biblical Tower of Babel, according to the Old testament and ancient Jewish and Christian scholars was an effort by mankind to reach the heavens with a ladder-like structure and enter the kingdom of God without God's approval.
