    The people of the earth all spoke one language and migrated east, settling in the land of Shinar where they decided to build a city and tower so they would not be scattered across the earth. God saw their tower and said they would be able to accomplish anything if they spoke one language, so he confused their language so they could not understand each other and scattered them across the earth, which is why the city was called Babel.
