Genesis 11 · Grade 2

The Tower of Babel

Name Date

Read the Story

Long ago, all the people in the world spoke the same language. They wanted to build a city and a very tall tower that reached the sky, so they would be famous. They were proud.

God had told people to spread out and fill the earth. But these people wanted to stay together and be great without God.

God came down and saw the city and the tower. He mixed up their words so they spoke different languages. They could not understand each other! They stopped building and moved to many places. The city was called Babel.

Memory Verse

They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”

Genesis 11:4 (WEB)
