300 years after the flood was done,
The world was back to square one,
From Hashem the people did stray,
To idols they would worship and pray.
The people of Bavel built a tower so high,
To climb to the top, took a year to try,
They built the tower to fight and rebel against Hashem,
If so, why didn't He destroy them?
Although they were up to no good,
They helped each other whenever they could,
To build the tower they all worked together,
Otherwise it would have taken them forever.
They were spared, because to their fellow man they were kind,
Hashem sent angels to switch the language in each one's mind,
70 languages were taught that night,
This caused them all to fight.
When one asked for a pail,
His friend would pass him a nail.
Each person couldn't communicate with his friend,
From the tower they had to descend.
70 groups were formed eventually,
Each group moved to a different country,
Any language that you may know,
Originates from those 70 languages from long ago!
