Abstract
"In this paper...we will discuss the relationship of this episode" (the Tower of Babel) "to the one immediately preceding it, 'the Table of Nations'; we shall assess its position in the complex of tales which make up the so-called Primeval History (Gn 1-11 :9); lastly, we will gauge the import of these two queries for our understanding of the modus operandi of the Genesis Redactor/Compiler."
