dreamer_easyWhat the heck, let's have another chapter, it's either that or mop the floor. :-)
- God's being plural again (verse 7).
- There's a pun or something in the name "Babel". The city's name was Babi-ilu, "gate of the god", but verse 9 says it was given its name because of the mess with the Tower - there's a Hebrew pun or some folk etymology at work.
Fun fact! The Tower of Babel is thought to be the ziggurat of Marduk.
