Wee Ones' Bible Stories: the Tower of Babel

Name: Wee Ones' Bible Stories: the Tower of Babel
Author: Anonymous

The Tower of Babel is a Bible story from the book of Genesis. It tells the story of how God confused the languages of the people who were building a tower to reach the heavens. God was angry that the people were trying to be like Him, so He confused their language so they could not understand each other. The people were forced to scatter across the earth, and the tower was never finished. This story teaches us that we should not try to be like God, and that God is in control of all things.
