The Bable story is an interesting one because it explicitly indicates that the deity wanted to sow discord among people. He actually was jealous of how people were working together and in order to stop all that nonsense, languages were "created".
Just to add confusion this conflicts with passages of earlier times which in there were "many tongues".
It seems to be just a reworking of an older Summarian tale of the Lord of Eratta - stuffed into the general Hebrew mythology as it has some good imagery.
Hi,
Please read Genesis 1:28.
Someone gave you an incorrect story on The Tower of Babylon issue.
This is hard Biblically.
A Blessing by God is also a Command by God.
That's the hard part. It is to see how, that is how God, Biblically treats that issue.
In Genesis 1:28, the Blessing included both Science, with the subdue the earth part, and spreading, with the fill the earth part.
In Genesis 9:1, without looking it up yet, I think that has A Blessing in it, with a fill the earth part also.
Those people at Babylon, did not want to spread. Our preachers and teachers, have said otherwise from time to time with me. Imagine your and my surprise, what it would be, if upon reading the actual accounts, if what you and I had heard from others, was not actually written that way.
I can't find anything, but their filure to spead as being their fault, in those word there, and it is said twice, that then they were spread.
LOVE,
...Mary., .... .
