Synopsis

Excerpt from Outlines of Universal History: From the Creation of the World to the Present Time

After this, they and their posterity were obliged to spend their lives in labour and trouble, and to eat their bread in the sweat of their face. Evil passions and desires were awakened, and disturbed the peace of society; the violent impulses of a savage and unrestrained nature plunged the later generations deeper and deeper into the disorders of vice and crime, till at length a great ?ood called the deluge, destroyed the whole race with the exception of Noah and his descendants from the face of the earth. Noah''s posterity, however, increased again so rapidly, that the later generations descended from his three sons, Shem, Ham, and J apheth, were compelled to spread themselves abroad over the neighbouring countries, on account of their home being no longer large enough to contain them. It then entered into their minds to erect the Tower of Babel, whose top was to reach unto heaven'', and to be a perpetual memorial to them, God frustrated this presumptuous attempt by confusing their lan guage, and by this diversity of speech brought about their separation.
