The Tower of Babylon
The word that the L-RD spoke through Jeremiah also pronounced the Fall of Babylon.
Jeremiah 50:14-15
Line up in formation around Babylon…Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands in surrender; her towers have fallen
Pictured are the ruins of Etemenanki, a ziggurat in the ancient city of Babylon which the exiled Judeans would have seen while in Babylon. It bears great resemblance to the description of the Tower of Babel as mentioned in the book of Genesis.
Overview
The ruins of Etemenanki, the ziggurat of Ur, partially reconstructed today, said to have inspired the Tower of Babel story in the book of Genesis.
In the Bible
Line up in formation around Babylon…Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands in surrender; her towers have fallen...
