Genesis 11 recounts the story of the Tower of Babel. At this time, everyone on earth spoke the same language and inhabited the same region. The people decided to build a city with a tower that would reach the heavens, seeking to make a name for themselves and prevent their dispersal across the earth. However, God observed their arrogance and resolved to confuse their language, thereby scattering them across the world.
