This is the tower of Babel. It is a great, wide, and high tower. The people are all at work building it. They want to build it up as high as the sky. They say, Come, let us make bricks and build a tower that shall reach up to heaven! But God sees the tower, and he is not pleased with them for building it. He did not give them permission to build it. And now he will do a very wonderful thing to stop them. He will make them, all at once, speak in a different way from what they spoke before. They will use different words; they will not know what those words mean. They cannot go on building then, because they cannot understand one another. They will have to stop building before the tower is done.
