The Tower of Babel

July 02, 2023

Passage: Genesis 11:1-9

Noah’s family grew. Noah’s sons had sons, and their sons had
sons, and on and on. Many people were born and began to live
on the earth. The people all lived together and spoke the same
language. They understood each other and knew what everyone
was saying.
The people decided to move, and they found a valley in the land
where their families could live. The people began to talk about
an idea. “Let’s build a city and make a tower with its top in the
sky. We’ll make a name for ourselves. Then we won’t have to go
anywhere else to live.”
So the people began to make bricks to build their city and
tower. The people baked the bricks in ovens to make them hard
and strong.
God saw what the people were doing, and He became angry.
God had told the people to live in different places. He did not
want them to live in one place, but to spread out over the earth.
God knew the people’s work had to be stopped. This is how
God stopped the people: God decided to mix up everyone’s words.
When the people talked, they did not understand each other.
Nothing made sense. No one building the city and tower could
tell another person what to do or how to do it. It was a mess! The
people had to stop building.
Now the people had to move! The people who understood each
other began to live together in their own cities and towns. It was
just what God had told the people to do in the first place. But the
people had chosen to disobey God.
