1310. Verse 5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of man were building.

'Jehovah came down' means judgement on them 'To see the city and the tower' means on account of the fact that they had perverted doctrine and profaned worship. 'Which the sons of man were building' means which they fabricated for themselves.
