Calvin's on Genesis 11:2

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

2. They found a plain in the land of Shinar . It may be conjectured from these words, that Moses speaks of Nimrod and of the people whom he had collected around him. If, however, we grant that Nimrod was the chief leader in the construction of so great a pile, for the purpose of erecting a formidable monument of his tyranny: yet Moses expressly relates, that the work was undertaken not by the counsel or the will of one man only, but that all conspired together, so that the blame cannot be cast exclusively upon one, nor even upon a few. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
