Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 11:1-9

Genesis 11:1-9 . From the text we gather these practical suggestions: I. Examine carefully the quality and meaning of every new plan of life. II. Beware of the sophism that Heaven helps those who help themselves. III. Regulate ambition by the Divine will. IV. If we make great plans, let us make them in God's name and carry them out in God's strength. V. Let us learn what is meant by all the unfinished towers that we see around us. VI.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 11:9

Genesis 11:9 I. God is not the Author of confusion, but of peace. Yet once, in His wise compassion, He made confusion in order to prevent it; He destroyed peace, that in the end he might restore it. The history of Babel is far more than a record of the defeated attempt of wicked men to accomplish an impossible folly. The building of that tower was the first great act of presumptuous rebellion against God subsequent to the flood, and therefore it was meet that a measure of vengeance should fall... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 11:1-32

Chapter 11Now in chapter eleven.The whole earth was of one language, and one speech ( Genesis 11:1 ).Probably Hebrew because in the earlier record of the book of Genesis, the names of the people were Hebrew names that have Hebrew meanings. And so the original language was perhaps the Hebrew language itself. "The whole earth was of one language, one speech."And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 11:1-32

Genesis 11:1. One language or lip. These words are to be literally understood, because it is added, God confounded their language. There has been a long and unavailing dispute whether the Chaldaic, the Hebrew, or the Arabic was the most ancient language. But since the oriental languages were studied, this subject has been discussed with more success. Epiphanius, a bishop of the fourth age, wrote in five languages, and he gives the name of dialects, not distinct languages, to the families... read more

Genesis 11:5The Lord came down to seeGod’s visitation1.Men’s apostasy and proud attempts are knit together with God’s visitation. 2. God is below when men think He hath forsaken the earth, and is near to visit the wickedness of man. 3. God’s descent is for vengeance sometimes upon sinners. 4. God doth visit the beauty and strength of wickedness. 5. The apostate sons of Adam may build their fabrics to prevent God’s judgments. 6. Jehovah will mark for vengeance the sons of wickedness and weakness... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 11:5

Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. Ver. 5. And the Lord came down. ] Non motu locali, sed actu iudiciali . To see the city, & c. ] That so his sentence, grounded not upon hearsay, or uncertain information, might be above all cavillation or exception. A fair precedent for judges. Caiaphas first sentenced our Saviour, and then asked the assessors what they thought of it. The chief captain first commanded Paul to be scourged,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 11:6

Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Ver. 6. Behold the people is one, &c. ] This benefit they abused to their pride and ambition, which they should have used to the help of the humane society, and common intercourse. They built, and God bare with them for a time, that he might make fools of them in the end. And this he doth daily. read more

Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. Ver. 7. Go to, let us go down. ] "Go to," say they: "Go to," saith He. "Let us build to heaven," say they: "Let us go down and see it," saith He. "Let us make us a name," say they: "Let us confound their language, that they may not so much as know their own names," saith He. "Lest we be scattered," say they: "Let us scatter them abroad the world," saith He. Thus God words it... read more
