<P> According to the story , a united humanity in the generations following the Great Flood , speaking a single language and migrating eastward , comes to the land of Shinar ( שִׁנְעָר ‎ ) . There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven . God , observing their city and tower , confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other , and scatters them around the world . </P>
