This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
a tower whose top may reach unto heaven - a common figurative expression for great height (Deu 1:28; Deu 9:1-6).
lest we be scattered - To build a city and a town was no crime; but to do this to defeat the counsels of heaven by attempting to prevent emigration was foolish, wicked, and justly offensive to God.
