genesis 11

So we skip back in time and rejoin Noah's offspring with extended ages
¹And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.²And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there
Shinar being the historic Sumer now northen Iraq.
³And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
⁴And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, 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.
These ancient people were incredible one family built a boat to contain specimens of all the earths animals for about six months. With the knowledge to adequately ventilate,feed and water said animals and manage the sewage output. Something we would struggle with today, and yet they are building a tower and expect to hit the roof of the world.
⁵And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
⁶And 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.
⁷Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
There's that US again.
⁸So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
⁹Therefore 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.
This seems an odd thing to do if he didn't like it why not just wish it out of existence or just say c'mon peeps doin' that fucks me off, don't do it.
Shit if they was my kids I would just be proud.Wouldn't he have learnt by now man will just discover more to learn about his new enviroment. I suppose it's a bit too much to expect a figment of your imagination too learn by its mistakes?
¹⁰These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:¹¹And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.¹²And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:¹³And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.¹⁴And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:¹⁵And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.¹⁶And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:¹⁷And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.¹⁸And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:¹⁹And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.²⁰And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:²¹And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.²²And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:²³And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.²⁴And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:²⁵And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.²⁶And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Again with the long list of generations but amazingly now inclusive of women.
²⁷Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.²⁸And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.²⁹And 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.³⁰But Sarai was barren; she had no child.³¹And 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. ³²And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
