About this story

The people of the world speak one language and decide to build a great city with a tower reaching toward heaven. They hope the project will make them famous and prevent them from being scattered across the earth. God sees what they are building and confuses their language, making it impossible for them to understand one another. The unfinished city becomes known as Babel, and its people are scattered throughout the world. The Tower of Babel is a short and influential Bible story about ambition, pride and division that offers a biblical explanation for the existence of different languages.

Scene 1 of The Tower of Babel, illustratedTurnul Babel · Scene 1

Toți oamenii au o singură limbă. Toți vorbesc la fel. Oamenii merg spre răsărit. Apoi găsesc o câmpie în țara Șinear. Oamenii stau acolo. Ei își spun unul altuia: „Haideți facem cărămizi și le ardem bine.” Ei folosesc cărămida în loc de piatră. Ei folosesc și smoala ca mortar. Apoi oamenii spun: „Haideți facem o cetate și un turn. Vârful turnului ajunge până la cer. Așa ne facem un nume și nu mergem în toate părțile pământului.”
