Bricks as stones to build a city and a tower.
What is Babylon? What is the "city[1] and tower[2]" of Babel we see in Genesis 11? Was "city[1] and tower[2]" like Babylon a civil system? Were they a metaphor for the city of blood spoken of by Jeremiah[3], Ezekiel[4], Hosea[5], Nahum[6], Habakkuk[7], and even Revelation.[8]? Which way is can we go to be Exiting Babylon? The word Babylon is from the word Hebrew word Babel meaning confusion by mingling. Babylonian 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.

Comments
V1 One is normally AlefHeyDalet but here we see AlefHeyTav.[9] the word "language" normally ShinPieHey

[10] 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 AlefHeyDaletYodMem with Speech seen as VavDaletBeitReishYodMem[11].
In Genesis 10:31 we see "after their tongues"[12] also translated language is from LamedShinVavNun or lashown. to say the all had "one language" seems contradictory.
Why does the author use this different word śā-p̄āh instead of the more common LamedShinVavNun or lashown?[12]
V3 To "make[13] bricks[14]" for stone[15], and bind them with slime[16] like for morter[17] you can build a city and a tower for men like "Nimrod the mighty provider instead of the LORD".
V4 and V5 the "city[1] and tower[2]" were like the city of blood spoken of by Jeremiah[18], Ezekiel[19], Hosea[20], Nahum[21], Habakkuk[22], and even Revelation.[23]
By V6 we see because they built this "city[1] and tower[2]" are said to be "one People".
V7 The Hebrew word confound is from balal which means mingledor mixed[24] so the question is what was confounded or mingled so that the people were not able to understand or hear[24]?
The malleability of mankind as individual lumps of Clay[25] allows him to come together as a nation through acts of love and charity according to The Way of God which results from the choices that only come in systems of faith. When men are made into bricks and stuck together with "slime as mortar" by force they are not allowed to learn to understand one another and the words they use become confusion.[26]
See also Jury concerning judging Fact and Law, Cities of refuge concerning appeals courts. See how we can be bound by Consent through covetous practices. See how having one purse can divide the people from one another while mingling their wealth and right of choice which entangles[27] them again in the Yoke of bondage. Shem as Melchisedec
Abraham comes out of these cities of Ur and Haran and the way of men as bricks. He walks in faith and only builds altars of Clay and Stone, and not city of blood. By Genesis 12:3 we see "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth [25] be blessed."
"Babel, Babylon and Babylon the Great, such is the lineage of the apostasy which has ever opposed the Church of God; like a shadow, stealing along the wall at our side. To Babel we must oppose Abraham; to Babylon, Jerusalem; to Babylon the Great, the Bride, the Lamb’s wife. “Come out of her, my people,” is the cry that rings down the ages. God comes down to see! ... When disunion prevails, destruction follows. But Pentecost and Heaven will undo the wreck of Babel. See Revelation 7:9." F.B. Meyer

The Tower of Babel

1 And the whole earth was of one language[10], and of one speech[11].

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar[28]; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to[29], let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick[14] for stone[30], and slime[31] had they for morter[32].

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city[1] and a tower[2], 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[1] and a tower[2], 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.
