What does the Bible say about Babel?

Answered in 4 sources

Babel is described in Genesis 11 as humanity's attempt to build a city and a tower to reach heaven, leading to God's judgment by confounding their language.

Babel, originating from the descendants of Nimrod, signifies humanity's rebellion against God as they aimed to build a tower reaching to heaven. The Lord intervened, confused their languages, and scattered them as a judgment for their pride and unity in sin. This story illustrates mankind's futile attempts to reach God on their own terms and the futility of seeking salvation through human effort apart from divine initiative.
Scripture References: Genesis 11:1-9, Proverbs 6:23-26, Revelation 18:4
