Genesis 11:1 Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.

< Genesis 10:32
Genesis 11:2 >

      Ge 11:1-32. CONFUSION OF TONGUES.

      1. the whole earth was of one language. The descendants of Noah, united by the strong bond of a common language, had not separated, and notwithstanding the divine command to replenish the earth, were unwilling to separate. The more pious and well-disposed would of course obey the divine will; but a numerous body, seemingly the aggressive horde mentioned (Ge 10:10), determined to please themselves by occupying the fairest region they came to.
