Tongues, Confusion OfEASTON'S
At Babel, the cause of the early separation of mankind and their division into nations. The descendants of Noah built a tower to prevent their dispersion; but God “confounded their language” (Gen. 11:1-8), and they were scattered over the whole earth. Till this time “the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.” (See SHINAR.)
