The world had one language after the flood, and everyone spoke it. (Who was the man who built the ark and took his family on it to survive the flood?) The people moved east and settled in a large valley in Babylon. They decided to build a city for themselves using bricks instead of stones. They decided to build a tower that reached the sky.
The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, but saw that the people were more focused on building the tower and no longer worshiped Him. Instead, they were worshiping their own accomplishments. God was displeased, so He made new languages, and made everyone speak a different one (Do you know any other languages? Do you know anyone who speaks a different language?).
The people could no longer build the city or the tower. No one could understand what anyone else was saying. So they split up. They scattered all over the world. The unfinished tower became known as the Tower of Babel because all the people could do was babble at each other (What does babble mean?).
Review Questions:
1. After the flood, how many languages were there in the whole world?
2. Where did the people settle?
3. What did they decided to build?
4. How did God feel about the tower?
5. What did He do about it?
6. What did the tower become known as?
Word of the Day:
Babble: verb: to talk rapidly, foolishly, excitedly, or in an incomprehensible way
Prayer:
Lord, thank you for all the beautiful languages You gave us,
Grant us the grace to keep out thoughts on You
And not just our accomplishments.
Help us remember that You are responsible for our successes
And will help us through our troubles.
Amen.
