The Tower Of Babel is the biblical story of post-flood humanity attempting to build a massive city and a tower reaching into the heavens. God intervened by confusing their single language and scattering people across the earth, explaining the origin of diverse languages. God saw their pride and self-reliance, so He confused their speech. Unable to communicate, they stopped building and scattered globally. The name "Babel" came to mean "confusion". It illustrates that unchecked human unity driven by self-glory can lead to societal corruption, which God curtails to preserve order.
