1325. Verse 9. Therefore He called the name of it Babel, because there did Jehovah confound the lip of all the earth; and from thence did Jehovah scatter them upon the faces of all the earth. “Therefore He called the name of it Babel,” signifies such worship; “because there did Jehovah confound the lip of all the earth,” signifies the state of this Ancient Church, that internal worship began to perish; “the earth” is the church; “and from thence did Jehovah scatter them upon the faces of all the earth,” signifies that internal worship was annihilated.
