Genesis 11:1-9

Listen to Genesis 11:1-9
1 erat autem terra labii unius et sermonum eorundem
2 cumque proficiscerentur de oriente invenerunt campum in terra Sennaar et habitaverunt in eo
3 dixitque alter ad proximum suum venite faciamus lateres et coquamus eos igni habueruntque lateres pro saxis et bitumen pro cemento
4 et dixerunt venite faciamus nobis civitatem et turrem cuius culmen pertingat ad caelum et celebremus nomen nostrum antequam dividamur in universas terras
5 descendit autem Dominus ut videret civitatem et turrem quam aedificabant filii Adam
6 et dixit ecce unus est populus et unum labium omnibus coeperuntque hoc facere nec desistent a cogitationibus suis donec eas opere conpleant
7 venite igitur descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui
8 atque ita divisit eos Dominus ex illo loco in universas terras et cessaverunt aedificare civitatem
9 et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius Babel quia ibi confusum est labium universae terrae et inde dispersit eos Dominus super faciem cunctarum regionum

Genesis 11:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 11

This chapter gives an account of the inhabitants of the earth before the confusion of tongues at Babel, of their speech and language, which was one and the same, and of the place where they dwelt, Ge 11:1,2 and of their design to build a city and tower, to make them a name and keep them together, which they put in execution, Ge 11:3,4 of the notice the Lord took of this affair, and of the method he took to put a stop to their designs, by confounding their speech, and dispersing them abroad upon the face of the earth, Ge 11:5-9 then follows a genealogy of Shem's posterity down to Abraham, Ge 11:10-26 and a particular relation is given of Terah, the father of Abraham, and his family, and of his going forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, in order to go into the land of Canaan, and of his death at Haran by the way, Ge 11:27-32.

From Self-Sufficient to Son, Capacity Is Not Permission
From Self-Sufficient to Son, Capacity Is Not Permission
Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas

In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue through the Valley Gate while announcing that Season Casting begins that night at Times of Refreshing Christian Center in Manhattan. They contrast the Tower of Babel, where man ascends to make a name, with Jesus, who descends and is given the name above all names. They explain that independence can look successful and even godly, and that capacity is not permission, with a personal testimony of giving a choice back to God. They unpack the biology of independence and the brain's drive for prediction and control, and describe independence as making your ability your source and as the original sin. They close with an acronym for down and the wilderness Israelites, and note that Jesus depended fully on the Father.
