Join Christopher Enoch for Part 15 of the Genesis Series for a fascinating deep dive into the story of the Tower of Babel from Genesis 11:1-9.

Did you know the Bible mentions the "city" of Babel more than the tower? Or that evidence from Genesis 10 suggests multiple languages already existed?

In this session, Christopher challenges the traditional interpretation, exploring the original Hebrew to reveal a deeper meaning. Discover how "one language" (echad saphah) likely referred to a unified and efficient communication system rather than a single global tongue. Learn why the "tower whose top is in the heavens" was likely a figure of speech for immense pride, similar to language used by Jesus himself.

We'll also look at extra-biblical texts like "Legends of the Jews" to understand the role of Nimrod and compare key manuscripts like the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Septuagint to uncover crucial differences.

This isn't just a story about languages; it's about the power of unity, communication, and the pride that threatened heaven itself.
