“Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.””
Genesis 11:7

What was really wrong with building the tower?
The problem with the tower was refusal. God had spoken, and a whole civilisation heard Him and decided it would rather not listen; they wanted to be known by a name they made for themselves. To know God is to take what He has said and shape your life around it. Babel took what God said and built the opposite in brick.
