Men Build a Big Tower

MANY years passed. Noah's sons had lots of children. And their children grew up and had more children. Soon there were many people on the earth.

One of these persons was a great-grandson of Noah named Nim'rod. He was a bad man who hunted and killed both animals and men.  Nim'rod also  made himself a king to rule over other people. God did not like Nim'rod.

All the people at that time spoke one language. Nim'rod wanted to keep them altogether so that he could rule them. So do you know what he did?  He told the people to build a city and a big tower in it.
