The Book of Genesis - Session 20 - The Tower of Babel

from The Open Word · host Alan L. Schafer

We now turn our attention to Genesis 11, in which we find the account of the Tower of Babel. This occurred about four generations from Noah, when humanity most likely numbered between one and two thousand people. Instead of spreading out over the earth, humanity decided to stay together until God scattered them by confusing the languages. Also, Genesis 11 contains the generations from Noah to Abraham, setting up Genesis 12 in which God calls Abraham.
