The significance of this unholy construction project (Gn 11:1-9) lies in the intention to circumvent the purposes of God: “Let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth” (Gn 11:4). Their attempt at urbanization runs afoul of God’s instructions to populate the planet. ................
