Genesis 11:7
“Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 11Meaning
The divine response targets communication, disrupting the coordination that had enabled the builders to act as one concentrated group.
Read carefully
The plural wording 'let us' has received several theological interpretations; this verse alone does not settle every later doctrinal explanation of the plural.
Reflection
Human plans depend on forms of communication and cooperation that are gifts rather than possessions beyond divine limit.
