Tower of Babel

a united human race

in the generations following the Great Flood,

speaking a single language

and migrating eastward,

comes to the land of Shinar

There they agree to build a city

and a tower tall enough to reach heaven.

God confounds their speech

so that they can no longer understand each other,

and scatters them around the world.

c 2124 the Great Earthquake divided the people,

and confused the languages.
