Mankind wanted to create a way to God as they saw fit without being reconciled to God and having faith in self-reliance. God confounded them and scattered them. Which is why we have different languages and cultures to this day.
Vs 30. For a woman to be barren back then and still in some cultures it involves shame and social ridicule and implied that the woman or the couple was not in favor with God.
Chapter 11 not only speaks of the Tower of Babel which is where God caused the confusion of tongues it also speaks on the ancestry of Abram who later becomes Abraham, he is spoken much about in the book of Genesis (11:27-25:18 KJV). Reminder Genesis is the only book to cover more than 2,000 years and more than 20 generations.
The lesson is not to be about ourseleves but to keep our focus and attention on God. It was selfishness that led God to confound and confusion of tongues. If they had been about God or seeked Him it might not have been that way. They didn’t seek God’s forgiveness or let God lead them but they led themselves, which was their down fall.
Remember seek God first in all that you do.
God bless you and your loved ones.
