"This is an anthology of common misconceptions. God did not do anything to the Tower itself. ‘And the L ORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." So the L ORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the L ORD confused the language of all the earth.' Genesis 11:6–9, Revised Standard Version."
