Babel is a confusion of language caused by God in the Biblical story of Genesis. The story tells of the people of Babylon gathering to build a great tower and the Lord confusing their languages so that they were unable to complete the tower. This incident is believed to be the origin of the many different languages spoken today. It serves as an important reminder that we should not use language to divide ourselves as God did.
