1. As the population grew what did they plan to do? To build a city and a tower “whose top may reach unto heaven,” for their own praise and glory.
2. Where was it to be? On “a plain in the land of Shinar,” which most probably is what later became Babylon.
3. Of what did they build it? Of mud dried bricks, joined together with mortar made of bituminous slime.
4. What did God do about it? He “confounded their language” so that they could not understand each other, which, of course, put a stop to the work; and he “scattered them abroad … upon the face of all the earth.”
5. Why was God so unwilling it should be built? It was to be a monument to the power of man as distinct from the power of God.
6. What name was given to it? Babel, which means “confounded.”
