Berean Standard Bible
“So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.”
Genesis 11 tells of people who settled in a plain and set out to build a city and a tower so as to make a name for themselves and avoid being scattered. God had already told humanity to fill the earth, so their project resisted his purpose.
