Luke's idioms

[David Morris]

Jane,

This text is CENTRAL to the mythology of GR!  I've been thinking of it for
months.  Nimrod built the first CITY after the cleansing flood.  The tower was
its ROCKET.  God F-d up Their Count-Down!

Thanks!
David Morris

> After the flood, God commanded the people to fill the earth (Gen 9:1). But a
descendent of Ham named Nimrod became a mighty hunter (10:9), and decided that
he and his descendants would begin a kingdom (11:4) that was later called Babel
(11:9). As a symbol of their unity they began a building project. Because there
are no natural stones in the Plain of Shinar, (about 50 miles from present-day
Baghdad), they made bricks and burned them thoroughly (11:3) to make a solid
monument.

> They said,  " 'Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top
will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will
be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth'" (11:4).
