1180. Verse 10. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. “The beginning of his kingdom,” signifies that thus such worship began; “Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar,” signify that there were such worships in that region; and at the same time they signify the worships themselves, the externals of which appear holy, but the interiors are profane.
