Genesis 11 presents the history of the Tower of Babel, where Noah's descendants, still united in one tongue, decide to build a tower that came to heaven. But God confuses the languages of the builders and disperses them by the earth. The verses related to the topics addressed in this chapter are:

Psalm 2:4 - "He who is sitting in heaven laughs; the Lord mocks from them." This verse shows God's sovereignty over men, who often try to challenge their authority and wisdom, as in the case of the Tower of Babel.

Proverbs 21:30 - "There is no wisdom, no understanding, no advice against the Lord." This highlights the uselessness of men's attempt to build something that challenges God and His will.

Acts 2:5-11-This excerpt describes the moment when the Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples of Jesus, allowing them to speak of tongues that were understood by the Jews from various parts of the world. This is a reversal of what happened in the Tower of Babel, when God confused the tongues to disperse people.

Revelation 7:9 - "After these things I looked, and here is a multitude, which no one could tell, of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, who were standing before the throne and before the lamb, wearing white and with with white robes palms in the hands. " This verse shows the restoration of unity between nations and languages, which were divided into the Tower of Babel.

1 Corinthians 14:10 - "There are, for example, many different types of voices in the world, and none of them are meaningless." This verse talks about the importance of communication and understanding among people, even if different languages speak. This is a lesson that can be learned from the history of the Tower of Babel.
