Genesis 11:4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

And 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.

Reader! I charge you to see that your foundation be that which is mentioned, 1 Corinthians 3:11, and then those blessings will follow: Isaiah 54:11-12; Revelation 21:10-12. It is worth observing, that Cain was the first builder of a city: Genesis 4:17 And those Babel-builders were the next. If the Reader would see the opposite characters, let him turn to Hebrews 11:13-16.

4 And 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.
