@@davidlonhol8016 Not that I'm aware of. It is my understanding that Nimrod means "to fall away", "to rebel". In modern American English terms, fool or jerk. Here's a bit more about the name according to Metaphysical interpretation. Metaphysical meaning of Nimrod (mbd) Nimrod, nim-rod (Heb.)--self-ruling will; arbitrary sway; fallen from allegiance; insubordination; rebellion; revolution; anarchy; despotism; misrule; impiety. a Son of Cush. "He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah" (Gen. 10:8, 9). b The land of Nimrod (Mic. 5:6). Meta. Nimrod ("a mighty one in the earth," also, "a mighty hunter before Jehovah," and meaning self-ruling will, arbitrary sway, rebellion, despotism, misrule) pertains to the rule of personal will in the animal forces of the organism; also to a material belief in courage and might. The adverse phase of the ruling personal will of man is under the observation of Jehovah, the true Christ self of the individual, since the will, in the process of unfoldment spiritually, must be cleansed of its adverseness and be made subject to and unified with the divine will. Nimrod brought forth in the material, as is evidenced by Genesis 10:10: "And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar." (See the metaphysical interpretations of these names.)

I think you stated the right track of thought but missed what the sin was. God said to spread out and fill the earth. They disobey so God sends confusion of language as to disperse them before they commit a greater sin. It was Gods mercy he confounded their language. The punishment was equal to the sin like you said.

M’Berashet Katov.... "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves” This sentence is spoken in high levels of Pride... Other examples: Isaiah 14:12-15 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 3:34, NIV: "He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed." “G*d opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

You need to contemplate scripture more, meditate on the matters said. God told us why he confused their languages! Gen 11:6-8 ASV 6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do. 7. ... 8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city. If mankind stayed in one location having one single language, nothing would be impossible for them. What this tells us is that their technological avances would take them to where we are today in perhaps a very short time. There would be no march of nations, no separation into nations, Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Africans and all of what that implies. Their actions were not sinful as such; rather, these were going against God's purposes, his plans for mankind. Without national groups developing into nations and races, there would be no people of God, no Abraham to select, and no Israel - which would mean no Messianic redemption as promised in the prophecy of Genesis 3:14, 15. This circumvention of God's plan could not be tolerated; this is why God dispersed them all over the world, and to get them to disperse they had to feel separate from their fellow humans. The giving them different tongues did that. No longer being able to communicate with other families, their only choice was for each family to go their own way.
I won’t disagree with your interpretation, but my interpretation is that a singular being with a singular focus can build anything, but what happens is individuals lose focus they are bombarded by thoughts outside of themselves that lead them in every which direction possible. This leads to them not living up to there potential. You can ascribe this similar theory in marriage that is supposed to be a union, and how a simple disagreement sows the seeds of doubt, your mind can race off into so many thoughts about a single event and each thought is essentially creating more smaller thoughts until you eventually dissolve the union.
Identifying ourselves as human beings, each uniquely created in the image of God, living with purpose within a community, will allow ourselves to view others in the similar manner. Otherwise, the alternative is to identify ourselves as mere pawns within a secular movement or ideology in order to achieve purpose. These conflicting views of ourselves produce conflicting results. Individual vs the "collective".
All must be equal earth and God earth and the direction of understanding is the word of God. For God to come down to dwell with man this must be accomplished.
I liked it! Lol. From my understanding, just to put it in different words, everyone was in total agreement that they didn’t need God. They were also totally in sync with each other, working together, to show that they didn’t need God. Building the tower was not necessarily the wrong, but the idea of they can accomplish anything on their own, was the wrong. (Even though, who knows, stopping them from building the tower was mercy towards them, and us all, for by breaking them up and scattering them, gave them a chance to be in need of help. It was a chance for them to look to God for help). I’ve also surmised that Nimrod was a part of this endeavor, perhaps a leader of sorts. He was quoted to have said he wanted to climb to the top and shoot God with his bow and arrow. I suppose at one time the name Nimrod was associated with being a great hunter, fighter, and very smart. Isn’t it ironic (and fitting) that we associate that name now with being a numbskull and a fool.
Nimrod became an insult because Bugs Bunny sarcastically mocked Elmer Fudd by calling him the name of the great hunter. In similar vein, people think Rabbits like carrots. When in fact Bugs Bunny eating a carrot was in reference to a movie "It Happened One Night." For anyone out there wondering, Rabbits regularly prefer lettuce and cabbage.
Would you be an asshole if you pushed someone who cannot swim, into the deep end of a pool, just to save them? 100% breeding is an egregious crime against the born. Because breeders don’t have consent and they’re handing out a death sentence. At the very least, that makes intentional breeding tantamount to kidnapping and murder. Breeding is the harm that entails all other harm. It is to unnecessarily open the door to every conceivable pain, anguish and horror, for no good reason. To breed is to cater to the lowest rung within physical reality. It is an appeal to the lowest most vain nature in animals and an affront to the highest principles of logic and reason. It is a futile egoic pursuit of evolutionary perfection, which marks a grave reflection upon the soul in need of forging another profane representation in response to its origins of deprivation and subsequently its continuum. Where do breeders get the “right” to impose unnecessary risk, suffering and death without consent? “To force non-consenting humans into this world is to bring wood into a burning building.” Breeders are the root of all evil.
They wanted to contact and bring back the sons of God. People came into contact with God and communed with Him on mountains. This tower was also a one world idolatrous government.
If people before the flood were in good terms with God, how is it that they are against each other? Because loving God will unconciously loving your neighbour. What he was saying actually an oxymoron. People before the flood were so corrupt that they actually practice amalgamation with the beast and built grotto for their own god.
But god had already said he would never destroy mankind again in a flood. The point of the rainbow. So god had already taken that punishment off the table.
Nah. Its just because Noah pleased God and pleaded for his descendants never to be destroyed. Dispersion is too good for Babylon, God was just being gracious and merciful.
The idols having equivalents across different people around the world indicates they speaking the same language. Indigenous americans also had sacrificial idols.
It was Satan that got into man and built that tower to get at heaven with spears. It'was the hatred toward the GOD of Heaven that caused them to do that.
It’s not bad what you said. Satan cannot compare himself to God nor he can trick God with Gods own hand made. A tower can never be built to reach to Heaven. It’s take ONLY God the creator can bring who He choose to Heaven
Believe it or not, the tower of Babel incident was between two Anunnaki factions. The same two which have caused all the wars in history. And yes they were building to heaven, in the sense of rocket ships to Nibiru. I know it sounds crazy but the bible is full of amazing mysteries that gods wants us to discover. Read the lost book of Enki by Zachary Sitchen, it's on youtube, it's full of old testament stories and the possible truth behind them. The book is supposedly translated from ancient sumerian text, from the first civilization after the flood. Making it much closer to the source than the possible corrupted or purposeful altered versions we see in the bible today.
Giuseppe Catapano: "Atlantida which disappeared 12,000 years ago, was the land of the Pelasgians (ancestors of Albanians), who escaped the flood of Atlantis and began new civilizations on all continents, especially in Europe, Africa and small Asia". THOTH spoke Albanian! Thot means "to say" in Albanian Language. The Albanian Language is a proto Indo-European language, the Babel language indeed. Science Magazine 2023 declared Albanian Language older than 8000 years old.
Is that because of jealousy? Some people were jealous of the ancient Babylonian tower that had been built by the people who could speak multiple languages.

I recently read the book of Jasher and was fascinated by the story of the tower told there. It said that they wanted to build a giant tower so that they would not be forgotten as a nation and while building it it said that they planned to wage war against God and the angels once they got to heaven so that they can rule and set their own man made gods in heaven. If that's the case then it's obvious why God wasn't very happy with them.
The only thing i can find on the book of jasher is that the only written copy was from about 1300 AD. So someone came in 1800 years later to fill in the gaps of a bible story. As for the story itself, there would have been thousands of people to take on such a large build. Where did so many people come from 100 years after Noah's flood when it was only 3 women and the 4th one was 600 years old? Did they have at least 15 kids each year for the 1st 20 years after the flood? How would that work?

Stop... from that series: if G-d is everywhere -- how is that that they need to get to Him by building that giant skyscraper... they didn't know that G-D is everywhere?

So the ppl were smart enough to have technology we don't even have today, but they were stupid enough to think they could build a tower to hold up the sky, or use it as a way to get to the moon? Doesn't make sense.
Life is a test. We were getting straight A's and God changed the class to make it harder. We were created, evolved and conquered. Restarted with bigger obstacles and here we are, in the heavens again. Hold on tight!
The Tower of Babel was part of a much greater rebellion against the Creating God, which happens often down through history over and over. Semiramis was Nimrod's mother, who killed her husband hoping to gain his self-proclaimed kingly authority. She ruled until Nimrod became of age. Then she started an Oedipus relationship with her son, and eventually married her son in order to retain some of her old authority. Semiramis proclaimed they were earthly gods, and the people bought into it like sheep. The ziggurat was a stepped pyramid like structure, which Nimrod promised higher levels of protection against another flood if you showed your loyalty to him and his mother by being boot lickers and ass kissers. The more loyalty you showed the earthly gods, the higher up the ziggurat you could stand on, if another flood should come. Eber, Abraham's great great great grandfather refused to bow to Nimrod and his murderous power hungry mother, usurping divinity and claiming to be human gods. This loyalty to God shown by Eber caught God's attention. People were living to be 900 plus years old, so Abraham knew his spiritual, God following, great grandfather Eber. Semramis started the first extreme misandrious male hating philosophy that we see repeating it self again with Jezebel in scriptures, and we now see being reproduced so prevalent in modern America. Eber walked away from faux hope on a string earthly promises, and followed his spiritual unctions concerning God, and this was eventually blessed through Abraham's blessings, which started the Hebraic faith, not Judaism. Judaism would not occur for hundreds of years later long after Judah was born. This four generations later blessing, which was bestowed on Eber's great grand child should be an awe inspiring thought for modern grandparents in a time when globalists are hell bent on destroying the most basic primordial family unit... Or... Maybe not... Never take what I write at face value unless you can prove it to yourself... But are you acting in unselfish ways that cause God to watch and ponder over your family all the way down to your grandchildren... Or... Not...
1. Reread it. I was able to do it during the Sabbath observance (Matthew 24:20). The sin? Not observing Sabbath. The previous Cain and Abel comparison: controlling Temper, having patience, friendly competition, the 3 will perfect religious observance. 2. The sin was not about the construction of the Tower. The sin was their "imagination" and neglect of a day of rest to worship HaShem. 3. The "imagination" was a compounding of neglecting a day of observance and equating themselves to HaShem Elohim through constructing a tower not dedicated to him but themselves. 4. The Tower then became an idol in their minds. It was built with their hands but the imagination could also build idols. It was also a forecast of Nebuchadnezzar's idol of a man.
You're taking a Christian view of a Hebrew text. Basically appropriating a culture and religion to back you're own religion. Enjoy where the wide road takes you.
There is Seth's offspring (the son's of God) that were loyal to God and followed the commandments and Sabbath. Then there are Cain's offsprings that ignored God. I believed God didn't except the son's of God mingling with the men of Cain. The reason for the flood. And I learned that higher knowledge and great physical strength comes from being loyal to God and His Commandments in the Sabbath. To me there are only 2 kinds of people.

Dear Rabbi Friedman, I studied Egyptology & the area as far as the Euphrates Valley. We now know enough about how the Giza Pyramids were built. Mummification is what happens when any living Flesh dies in the desert. The extremely low Humidity & the Sand drifts building up around the Corpse which contains Silica & Natron. This sucks the moisture out of the Body, preserving it. The Ancients saw this & copied in order to deny Death it's Sting amongst the Living. This in no way invalidates the Core Wisdom & Purpose of this Parable, which is to tap Men on the Shoulder & remind them that however far out into the Galaxy they travel there is always Someone much bigger than they are watching them - HaShem.
Why does everybody always have so much to say about the bible... if you don't want to believe, don't, no one is forcing you!... but if you believe, BELIEVE, Stop questioning coz that defeats faith
So HaShem demonstrated his displeasure at human ambition? Is HaShem intentionally capricious? And if HaShem acted with evil against evil, why doesn’t he self destruct out of displeasure over his own evil?
Original name of Babel must be tower of Babylon. Why did they have to change or modify the name? If you think the reason, you will find the true answer instead of being deceived.
I've heard an interpretation of the KJB quote, Noah was clean in his generation, as suggesting the main sin that brought on the flood was bestiality, in that centaurs and minotaurs might have been intentionally created at that time. But that would predate later mutations such as the Nephalim. I'd like to see what scriptures said that the people of Nod were not idolaters? Never heard that before.
Though I think centaurs and other human animal splicing where mainly popular fantasies from earlier ages, perhaps humans were "devolving" back into more of an animal state. Ask any human what would they like to come back as....often the answer is to be some sort of an animal. Perhaps becoming devilish in our power structures is less an insult to god than wishing to be a simpler form of life!
They built the Zigarratt knowing that it was a building intended to draw God back into it, hoping to regain the connection with God that they once enjoyed but now lacked. God was not pleased! He split up the people and the nations and gave each nation a god(angel) that would be the administrator to them. That plan went South too.
Noach was saved from the flood because he was the most righteous of his generation. His generation was destroyed because their thoughts were evil. This is found written in Genesis. When you listen to teachers, make sure you read, and study, for yourself. Only take to heart those teachings that line up with the Torah. The rest, set aside - don't automatically trash it. It is possible you will see it differently later in life.
You mean the vast emptiness of anyone's skull who actually believe The Tower of Babel was built to reach the Moon? Like someone would have to incredibly stupid and lack any basic common sense or reasoning ability to believe something so ridiculously stupid.
Gen 11:4-6 …4 “Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.” 5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building. 6 And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.… no moon mentioned. just read as is , this god is afraid of human possibilities.. my God is the God of ACTS 17:24-30 The Creator of the entire universe and all things...
Mankind cannot reach heaven through their own efforts without God. Even if the entire known world comes together for the project.... Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
I don’t know about this explanation, all I know is, whatever there were doing worries God to a point where he has to come down and divided them, and later on he want them to unify, it’s just absurd.
I've questioned the issue as we have a space station. If I understand correctly, all major countries are involved. U.S., Russia, I think China and India, maybe Israel. Where maybe it's going to be allowed to get well developed. All the languages were confused, but now everyone can speak each other's language. Then English is a universal language. Interesting.
nice parellel, but is the space station also a project of hubriss like the tower of babel always is presented to me. a more mundane explantion for the tower of babel is that it derived from the zigaruts of Babylon, a probably for ever going project in a city where many languages were spoken. And a city were a very large part of the Jews did not live due to their own choice.The zigurat could have become the same kind of symbol the Bastille was for the people of Paris; a symbol of the power of the state the Jews feld oppressed by. Is the space station too a symbol of oppression or hubriss? It only is when one considers the research of the working of the universe as hubris and there are a lot of people who think that all humankind needs to know is written down in the holy scriptures, a worldvieuw the loudly propagate using the byproducts of that research they consider hubriss. Internet would be impossible when the trip to the moon never had been made.
That's incorrect, they know God did it. The epic of Gilgamesh shares which is about the of account of Nimrod trying to get revenge on God for the flood and death of his ancestors....
Babel = gate + el = gate + ram = Ram's gate = Aries at the spring equinox. Aries = the head/place of the skull (area between ears). This the entrance into Heaven.

Nimrod, nim-rod (Heb.)--self-ruling will; arbitrary sway; fallen from allegiance; insubordination; rebellion; revolution; anarchy; despotism; misrule; impiety.

Surely GOD does. Mathew 10:33 "But whosoever should deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is heaven."

Rabbi Friedman is really interesting. Learned a lot.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11
You need to contemplate scripture more, meditate on the matters said. God told us why he confused their languages!
Gen 11:6-8 ASV 6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do. 7. ... 8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
If mankind stayed in one location having one single language, nothing would be impossible for them. What this tells us is that their technological avances would take them to where we are today in perhaps a very short time.
There would be no march of nations, no separation into nations, Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Africans and all of what that implies. Their actions were not sinful as such; rather, these were going against God's purposes, his plans for mankind.
Without national groups developing into nations and races, there would be no people of God, no Abraham to select, and no Israel - which would mean no Messianic redemption as promised in the prophecy of Genesis 3:14, 15.
This circumvention of God's plan could not be tolerated; this is why God dispersed them all over the world, and to get them to disperse they had to feel separate from their fellow humans. The giving them different tongues did that. No longer being able to communicate with other families, their only choice was for each family to go their own way.
That's right
👏👍 Absolutely! The bible has the answer. We don’t need man’s feeble opinion.
That’s what I just wrote I found out now😀 exactly right!
I won’t disagree with your interpretation, but my interpretation is that a singular being with a singular focus can build anything, but what happens is individuals lose focus they are bombarded by thoughts outside of themselves that lead them in every which direction possible. This leads to them not living up to there potential. You can ascribe this similar theory in marriage that is supposed to be a union, and how a simple disagreement sows the seeds of doubt, your mind can race off into so many thoughts about a single event and each thought is essentially creating more smaller thoughts until you eventually dissolve the union.
I cannot immediately remember any scripture saying, "And for no other reason possibly good/shielding."
Identifying ourselves as human beings, each uniquely created in the image of God, living with purpose within a community, will allow ourselves to view others in the similar manner.
Otherwise, the alternative is to identify ourselves as mere pawns within a secular movement or ideology in order to achieve purpose. These conflicting views of ourselves produce conflicting results.
Individual vs the "collective".
" The denial of the existence of GOD is the worst sin of all "
All must be equal earth and God earth and the direction of understanding is the word of God. For God to come down to dwell with man this must be accomplished.
Thank you Rabbi Friedman.
I liked it! Lol. From my understanding, just to put it in different words, everyone was in total agreement that they didn’t need God. They were also totally in sync with each other, working together, to show that they didn’t need God. Building the tower was not necessarily the wrong, but the idea of they can accomplish anything on their own, was the wrong. (Even though, who knows, stopping them from building the tower was mercy towards them, and us all, for by breaking them up and scattering them, gave them a chance to be in need of help. It was a chance for them to look to God for help).
I’ve also surmised that Nimrod was a part of this endeavor, perhaps a leader of sorts. He was quoted to have said he wanted to climb to the top and shoot God with his bow and arrow.
I suppose at one time the name Nimrod was associated with being a great hunter, fighter, and very smart. Isn’t it ironic (and fitting) that we associate that name now with being a numbskull and a fool.
Nimrod became an insult because Bugs Bunny sarcastically mocked Elmer Fudd by calling him the name of the great hunter.
In similar vein, people think Rabbits like carrots. When in fact Bugs Bunny eating a carrot was in reference to a movie "It Happened One Night."
For anyone out there wondering, Rabbits regularly prefer lettuce and cabbage.
People need people and God doesn't talk last time I checked. Conscience bothering anybody?
That is an amazing interpretation. I grateful to have read this.
Would you be an asshole if you pushed someone who cannot swim, into the deep end of a pool, just to save them? 100% breeding is an egregious crime against the born. Because breeders don’t have consent and they’re handing out a death sentence.
At the very least, that makes intentional breeding tantamount to kidnapping and murder. Breeding is the harm that entails all other harm. It is to unnecessarily open the door to every conceivable pain, anguish and horror, for no good reason.
To breed is to cater to the lowest rung within physical reality. It is an appeal to the lowest most vain nature in animals and an affront to the highest principles of logic and reason. It is a futile egoic pursuit of evolutionary perfection, which marks a grave reflection upon the soul in need of forging another profane representation in response to its origins of deprivation and subsequently its continuum.
Where do breeders get the “right” to impose unnecessary risk, suffering and death without consent?
“To force non-consenting humans into this world is to bring wood into a burning building.” Breeders are the root of all evil.
This is so far from the truth! I have no idea where he gets this babel
They wanted to contact and bring back the sons of God. People came into contact with God and communed with Him on mountains. This tower was also a one world idolatrous government.
The first generation, “And they thought evil continually.” Says it all right there.
If people before the flood were in good terms with God, how is it that they are against each other? Because loving God will unconciously loving your neighbour. What he was saying actually an oxymoron. People before the flood were so corrupt that they actually practice amalgamation with the beast and built grotto for their own god.
No they weren't in good teams with God. The sons of God married the daughters of men. There were giants (Nephilim) as offspring. Read Genesis 6 please
There went something wrong with the human DNA (seed of Eve against seed of the serpent)
This is the first time since then we have a universal global language again. All ones and zeroes.
Morally speaking, their building the tower was at enmity with God because they were seeking to exalt themselves.
But god had already said he would never destroy mankind again in a flood. The point of the rainbow. So god had already taken that punishment off the table.
After the flood God said he will never wipe out humanity again.
Nah. Its just because Noah pleased God and pleaded for his descendants never to be destroyed. Dispersion is too good for Babylon, God was just being gracious and merciful.
Is it possible the tower of babel was a communications tower and after it was destroyed they could no longer communicate and had to disperse???
The idols having equivalents across different people around the world indicates they speaking the same language. Indigenous americans also had sacrificial idols.
It was Satan that got into man and built that tower to get at heaven with spears. It'was the hatred toward the GOD of Heaven that caused them to do that.
So you actually believe a tower to heaven can be built?
@@gsuitter It's impossible.
It’s not bad what you said. Satan cannot compare himself to God nor he can trick God with Gods own hand made. A tower can never be built to reach to Heaven. It’s take ONLY God the creator can bring who He choose to Heaven
Believe it or not, the tower of Babel incident was between two Anunnaki factions. The same two which have caused all the wars in history. And yes they were building to heaven, in the sense of rocket ships to Nibiru. I know it sounds crazy but the bible is full of amazing mysteries that gods wants us to discover. Read the lost book of Enki by Zachary Sitchen, it's on youtube, it's full of old testament stories and the possible truth behind them. The book is supposedly translated from ancient sumerian text, from the first civilization after the flood. Making it much closer to the source than the possible corrupted or purposeful altered versions we see in the bible today.
They believed that the tower would bring God down here. The sarcasm of the Elohim is evident when they spoke.
Giuseppe Catapano: "Atlantida which disappeared 12,000 years ago, was the land of the Pelasgians (ancestors of Albanians), who escaped the flood of Atlantis and began new civilizations on all continents, especially in Europe, Africa and small Asia". THOTH spoke Albanian! Thot means "to say" in Albanian Language.
The Albanian Language is a proto Indo-European language, the Babel language indeed. Science Magazine 2023 declared Albanian Language older than 8000 years old.
I am not trying to be mean or question you Rabbi but why have we not found the remains of the Archaeological tower yet?
they actually did look it up
Is that because of jealousy? Some people were jealous of the ancient Babylonian tower that had been built by the people who could speak multiple languages.

I think it's arrogant to believe God would care for even a second about us building a tower or what we thought about the flood. God most likely could not care less about what we do here.

Right?
I recently read the book of Jasher and was fascinated by the story of the tower told there. It said that they wanted to build a giant tower so that they would not be forgotten as a nation and while building it it said that they planned to wage war against God and the angels once they got to heaven so that they can rule and set their own man made gods in heaven. If that's the case then it's obvious why God wasn't very happy with them.
The only thing i can find on the book of jasher is that the only written copy was from about 1300 AD. So someone came in 1800 years later to fill in the gaps of a bible story.
As for the story itself, there would have been thousands of people to take on such a large build. Where did so many people come from 100 years after Noah's flood when it was only 3 women and the 4th one was 600 years old? Did they have at least 15 kids each year for the 1st 20 years after the flood? How would that work?
@@defenestratefalsehoods it was just a communist system probably saying they knew better that books peobably one of many false teachings. make it crazy enough to not pay attention to its real moral

The soil would be too salty to grow crops and there wouldn't be enough animals to start eating them without wiping out the species. So no food or fresh water and somehow they repopulated the earth. And 100 years there was thousands of people to build the tower of babel.
@@defenestratefalsehoods The kids thing; What if those 15 had kids meanwhile the originals had more? Quickly many people..
Stop... from that series: if G-d is everywhere -- how is that that they need to get to Him by building that giant skyscraper... they didn't know that G-D is everywhere?

I always thought of the day of Pentecost was kinda like this is what it would be like with no limits if you yield to the spirit and the tower of bable if you are not yielding to the spirit . . the one language being confused and the gift of tongues being a sign of who is in control ! Amen ?
So the ppl were smart enough to have technology we don't even have today, but they were stupid enough to think they could build a tower to hold up the sky, or use it as a way to get to the moon? Doesn't make sense.
Life is a test. We were getting straight A's and God changed the class to make it harder.
We were created, evolved and conquered. Restarted with bigger obstacles and here we are, in the heavens again.
Hold on tight!
The Tower of Babel was part of a much greater rebellion against the Creating God, which happens often down through history over and over. Semiramis was Nimrod's mother, who killed her husband hoping to gain his self-proclaimed kingly authority. She ruled until Nimrod became of age. Then she started an Oedipus relationship with her son, and eventually married her son in order to retain some of her old authority. Semiramis proclaimed they were earthly gods, and the people bought into it like sheep. The ziggurat was a stepped pyramid like structure, which Nimrod promised higher levels of protection against another flood if you showed your loyalty to him and his mother by being boot lickers and ass kissers. The more loyalty you showed the earthly gods, the higher up the ziggurat you could stand on, if another flood should come. Eber, Abraham's great great great grandfather refused to bow to Nimrod and his murderous power hungry mother, usurping divinity and claiming to be human gods. This loyalty to God shown by Eber caught God's attention. People were living to be 900 plus years old, so Abraham knew his spiritual, God following, great grandfather Eber. Semramis started the first extreme misandrious male hating philosophy that we see repeating it self again with Jezebel in scriptures, and we now see being reproduced so prevalent in modern America. Eber walked away from faux hope on a string earthly promises, and followed his spiritual unctions concerning God, and this was eventually blessed through Abraham's blessings, which started the Hebraic faith, not Judaism. Judaism would not occur for hundreds of years later long after Judah was born. This four generations later blessing, which was bestowed on Eber's great grand child should be an awe inspiring thought for modern grandparents in a time when globalists are hell bent on destroying the most basic primordial family unit... Or... Maybe not... Never take what I write at face value unless you can prove it to yourself... But are you acting in unselfish ways that cause God to watch and ponder over your family all the way down to your grandchildren... Or... Not...
Thank you for your teachings very beautiful.
@@ricardomirabal6406 beautiful but not true. Nimrod and Gilgamesh are not the same person.
THE QUESTION IS NOT, WHO AM I. BUT WHO "I AM"!
1. Reread it. I was able to do it during the Sabbath observance (Matthew 24:20). The sin? Not observing Sabbath. The previous Cain and Abel comparison: controlling Temper, having patience, friendly competition, the 3 will perfect religious observance. 2. The sin was not about the construction of the Tower. The sin was their "imagination" and neglect of a day of rest to worship HaShem. 3. The "imagination" was a compounding of neglecting a day of observance and equating themselves to HaShem Elohim through constructing a tower not dedicated to him but themselves. 4. The Tower then became an idol in their minds. It was built with their hands but the imagination could also build idols. It was also a forecast of Nebuchadnezzar's idol of a man.
You're taking a Christian view of a Hebrew text. Basically appropriating a culture and religion to back you're own religion. Enjoy where the wide road takes you.
There is Seth's offspring (the son's of God) that were loyal to God and followed the commandments and Sabbath. Then there are Cain's offsprings that ignored God. I believed God didn't except the son's of God mingling with the men of Cain. The reason for the flood. And I learned that higher knowledge and great physical strength comes from being loyal to God and His Commandments in the Sabbath. To me there are only 2 kinds of people.

Dear Rabbi Friedman,
I studied Egyptology & the area as far as the Euphrates Valley.
We now know enough about how the Giza Pyramids were built.
Mummification is what happens when any living Flesh dies in the desert. The extremely low Humidity & the Sand drifts building up around the Corpse which contains Silica & Natron. This sucks the moisture out of the Body, preserving it. The Ancients saw this & copied in order to deny Death it's Sting amongst the Living.
This in no way invalidates the Core Wisdom & Purpose of this Parable, which is to tap Men on the Shoulder & remind them that however far out into the Galaxy they travel there is always Someone much bigger than they are watching them - HaShem.
Why does everybody always have so much to say about the bible... if you don't want to believe, don't, no one is forcing you!... but if you believe, BELIEVE, Stop questioning coz that defeats faith
So HaShem demonstrated his displeasure at human ambition? Is HaShem intentionally capricious? And if HaShem acted with evil against evil, why doesn’t he self destruct out of displeasure over his own evil?
Original name of Babel must be tower of Babylon. Why did they have to change or modify the name? If you think the reason, you will find the true answer instead of being deceived.
People really need to know what they are talking about 🌺
I've heard an interpretation of the KJB quote, Noah was clean in his generation, as suggesting the main sin that brought on the flood was bestiality, in that centaurs and minotaurs might have been intentionally created at that time. But that would predate later mutations such as the Nephalim. I'd like to see what scriptures said that the people of Nod were not idolaters? Never heard that before.
Though I think centaurs and other human animal splicing where mainly popular fantasies from earlier ages, perhaps humans were "devolving" back into more of an animal state. Ask any human what would they like to come back as....often the answer is to be some sort of an animal. Perhaps becoming devilish in our power structures is less an insult to god than wishing to be a simpler form of life!
They built the Zigarratt knowing that it was a building intended to draw God back into it, hoping to regain the connection with God that they once enjoyed but now lacked.
God was not pleased!
He split up the people and the nations and gave each nation a god(angel) that would be the administrator to them.
That plan went South too.
Meanwhile Voyager 1 is now beyond the influence of the sun and God is nowhere to destroy it 😂
As a follower of Christ I found your analysis of Babel the best yet
As a follower of Christ you might want to look into the work of Dr. Michael S. Heiser. In particular his work on the Tower of Babel.
Yup
thanks Rav , blessings
Noach was saved from the flood because he was the most righteous of his generation. His generation was destroyed because their thoughts were evil. This is found written in Genesis.
When you listen to teachers, make sure you read, and study, for yourself. Only take to heart those teachings that line up with the Torah. The rest, set aside - don't automatically trash it. It is possible you will see it differently later in life.

No they wanted to disobey GOD and say no we are staying here.
Gen 11:4-6 …4 “Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.” 5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building. 6 And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.…
no moon mentioned. just read as is , this god is afraid of human possibilities.. my God is the God of ACTS 17:24-30 The Creator of the entire universe and all things...
Mankind cannot reach heaven through their own efforts without God. Even if the entire known world comes together for the project.... Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

I don’t know about this explanation, all I know is, whatever there were doing worries God to a point where he has to come down and divided them, and later on he want them to unify, it’s just absurd.
I've questioned the issue as we have a space station. If I understand correctly, all major countries are involved. U.S., Russia, I think China and India, maybe Israel. Where maybe it's going to be allowed to get well developed.
All the languages were confused, but now everyone can speak each other's language. Then English is a universal language. Interesting.
nice parellel, but is the space station also a project of hubriss like the tower of babel always is presented to me.
a more mundane explantion for the tower of babel is that it derived from the zigaruts of Babylon, a probably for ever going project in a city where many languages were spoken.
And a city were a very large part of the Jews did not live due to their own choice.The zigurat could have become the same kind of symbol the Bastille was for the people of Paris; a symbol of the power of the state the Jews feld oppressed by.
Is the space station too a symbol of oppression or hubriss? It only is when one considers the research of the working of the universe as hubris and there are a lot of people who think that all humankind needs to know is written down in the holy scriptures, a worldvieuw the loudly propagate using the byproducts of that research they consider hubriss. Internet would be impossible when the trip to the moon never had been made.
That's incorrect, they know God did it. The epic of Gilgamesh shares which is about the of account of Nimrod trying to get revenge on God for the flood and death of his ancestors....
Babel = gate + el = gate + ram = Ram's gate = Aries at the spring equinox. Aries = the head/place of the skull (area between ears). This the entrance into Heaven.
Supposedly it was a ship, they sought to live without God and war on heaven
We reach to GOD only when we stop seek HIM(SHE) because we are ONE with GOD. GOD is not an OBJECT.
