1302. Verse 4. And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower, and its head in heaven; and let us make us a name, lest peradventure we be scattered upon the faces of the whole earth. “And they said,” signifies that it came to pass; “let us build us a city and a tower,” signifies that they framed a doctrine and a worship; “a city” is a doctrine, “a tower” is the worship of self; “and its head in heaven,” signifies even to their having dominion over the things that are in heaven; “and let us make us a name,” signifies that thereby they might have a reputation for power; “lest peradventure we be scattered upon the faces of the whole earth,” signifies that otherwise they would not be acknowledged.
