11:1(S:vii) Making of the Nations
And the whole eretz was of echad saphah, and of devarim achadim (common words).
11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
11:3 And they said one to another:
"Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter."
11:4 And they said:
"Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] to shamayim (שׁמים); and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole eretz."
11:5 And YHWH (יהוה) came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
11:6 And YHWH (יהוה) said:
"Hinei, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
11:8 So YHWH (יהוה) scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Bavel; because YHWH (יהוה) did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did YHWH (יהוה) scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Avraham's biographic are:
1. His call by Hashem in Mesopotamia (Acts7:2, 3).
2. His journey to Haran, then to Kenaan (Acts 7: 4).
3. Hashem's promise of the land to Avraham, though the patriarch himself was not given any of it—as was proved by his purchase of the cave of Machpelah as a burial place (v. 5). The fulfillment of that promise is still future (Hebrews 11:13-40).
4. Hashem's prediction of Yisrael's bondage in Mitzrayim and of eventual deliverance (vv. 6, 7). Both parts of this prediction were accomplished by men who had been rejected by the nation: Yosef (vv. 9-19); Moshe (vv. 20-36). The four hundred years mentioned in verse 6 and in Beresheet 15:13 refer to the time when the Jewish people were afflicted in Mitzrayim. The four hundred and thirty years cited in Shemot 12:40 and Galates 3:17 cover the period from the arrival of Yaakov and his family in Mitzrayim to the Exodus and the giving of the Torah. The Yisraelites were not persecuted during their first thirty years in Mitzrayim; in fact, they were treated quite royally.
