| '''What is [[Babylon]]?''' What is the "city<Ref name="city">{{05892}}</Ref> and tower<Ref name="tower">{{04062}}</Ref>" of Babel we see in [[Genesis 11]]? Was "city<Ref name="city">{{05892}}</Ref> and tower<Ref name="tower">{{04062}}</Ref>" like [[Babylon]] a civil [[Systems|system]]? Were they a [[metaphor]] for the '''[[city of blood]]''' spoken of by Jeremiah<Ref>[[Jeremiah 26]]:15</Ref>, Ezekiel<Ref>[[Ezekiel 7]]:23, [[Ezekiel 9]]:9, [[Ezekiel 22]]:2-3 ,[[Ezekiel 24]]:6-9 </Ref>, Hosea<Ref>[[Hosea 6]]:8</Ref>, Nahum<Ref>[[Nahum 3]]:1</Ref>, Habakkuk<Ref>[[Habakkuk 2]]:8, 12,17</Ref>, and even Revelation.<Ref>[[Revelation 14]]:20</Ref>? Which way is can we go to be [[Exiting Babylon]]? The word ''[[Babylon]]'' is from the word [[Hebrew]] word [[0894|Babel]] meaning ''confusion by mingling''. [[Babylon]]ian system was a [[One purse]] system based on the [[covetous practices]] of [[socialism]] with [[Nimrod]]'s officers of his [[welfare state]] as the [[Benefactors]] of [[society]]. The way society "mingles" or relates to one another may degenerate them into [[perfect savages]] through becoming accustomed to the [[covetous practices]] of the [[world]].

| V1 '''One'''  is normally AlefHeyDalet but here we see AlefHey'''[[Tav]]'''.<Ref name="one">{{0259}}</Ref>  the word "language" normally ShinPieHey
<Ref name="language">{{08193}}</Ref> but seldom translated "language". We see it in [[Exodus 28]]:32 "of it, in the midst '''thereof: it shall have a binding''' of woven"
|-
| And the term "one" in rhe phrase '''one speech'''" normally has a base of DaletBeitReish but here we see the word '''one''' apears as AlefHeyDalet'''YodMem''' with Speech seen as  '''Vav'''DaletBeitReish'''YodMem'''<Ref name="speech">{{01697}}</Ref>. 
|-
| In [[Genesis 10]]:31 we see "after their tongues"<Ref name="tongues">{{03956}}</Ref> also translated ''language'' is from  LamedShinVavNun or lashown. to say the all had "one language" seems contradictory.

| V7 The Hebrew word ''confound'' is from ''balal'' which means ''mingled''or ''mixed''<Ref name="confound">{{01101}}</Ref> so the question is what was ''confounded'' or ''mingled'' so that the people were not able to ''understand'' or ''hear''<Ref name="confound">{{01101}}</Ref>?

== The Tower of Babel ==

1 And the whole earth was of one language<Ref name="language">{{08193}}</Ref>, and of one speech<Ref name="speech">{{01697}}</Ref>.

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar<Ref>{{08152}}</Ref>; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to<Ref>הָ֚בָה{{03051}}</Ref>, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick<Ref name="bricks">{{03843}}</Ref> for stone<Ref>{{068}}</Ref>, and slime<Ref>Asphalt, {{02564}}</Ref> had they for morter<Ref>{{02563 }}</Ref>.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city<Ref name="city">{{05892}}</Ref> and a tower<Ref name="tower">{{04062}}</Ref>, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the LORD came down to see the city<Ref name="city">{{05892}}</Ref> and a tower<Ref name="tower">{{04062}}</Ref>, which the children of men builded.

6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

== Shem's Descendants ==

10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:

13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:

15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:

19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:

21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:

23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:

25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

== Terah's Descendants ==

27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
