Babel 바벨탑 (창세기 11)

그림설명: Babel Tower
그림 저작권: V. Gilbert and Arlisle F. Beers

성경구절

“So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world.” (Genesis 11:8-9) “여호와께서 거기서 그들을 온 지면에 흩으셨으므로 그들이 그 도시를 건설하기를 그쳤더라 그러므로 그 이름을 바벨이라 하니 이는 여호와께서 거기서 온 땅의 언어를 혼잡하게 하셨음이니라.” (창세기 11:8-9)

바벨탑 사건은 거대한 혼란 상태를 암시합니다. 이것은 또한 선견지명있는 프로젝트를 의미합니다.

기원과 적용

우리가 사는 세상은 다른 문화와 언어로 구성되어 있습니다. 그러나 창세 초에는 전 세계가 오직 하나의 즉 공통의 언어를 가지고 있었습니다. 자만심 때문에 사람들은 하늘까지 오를 수 있는 탑을 쌓으려고 노력했습니다. 그들이 말하길, “우리 이름을 내고 온 지면에 흩어짐을 면하자.” (창세기 11:4) 그들의 계획을 깨달으시고, 하나님은 의도적으로 언어를 혼란하게 하시고 사람들을 땅의 모든 곳으로 흩으셨습니다. 그들은 탑 쌓기를 중단하는 것 외에 방법이 없었습니다. 이 것이 “confused”라는 히브리 어와 같은 바벨탑 이라고 불리우게 된 이유입니다.
