Opis

The Tower of Babel narrative describes how the entire world has settled in one place and has established a city and built a great tower. The people share unity of place, language, and purpose but their desire to stay united is countered by Yahweh's desire for diversity in his creation. My literary examination of this tale delves into the language and structure of the narrative which exposes its complexity and artistry. By analyzing these literary features, it is hoped that the meaning of the narrative is revealed which, in turn, add nuances to Genesis 1-11 as a whole.
