"At one time the whole earth had the same language and vocabulary."
Genesis 11:1
Wouldn't that be nice?
It's incredible to me what mankind has been capable of with all of the split languages that we have. Imagine what we could accomplish together without that barrier.
It's interesting to me that, in verse 4, the reason the Babylonians give for creating the city and tall tower is so that they won't be "scattered over the face of the whole earth." And yet, that's exactly what God does to them because of what they were building. This is a perfect example of how, quite often, our actions cause us to reap exactly what we were trying to avoid.
