About this episode
The episode discusses how God's confusion of language was not arbitrary but tempered with mercy.
God did not just confuse everyone’s language randomly and form the people into new groups arbitrarily. He still let the people taste of his mercy. Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).
