The Departed

v4; So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was 70 and 5 years old when he departed out of Haran.

v5; And Abram took Sar-a-i his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and their souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Ca-na-an; and into the land of Canaan they came. (So Abram had a following? What did he do in Haran to please God?)

v3; And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

v5: And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. (So modern man is the child of real men?)

v6; And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. (So if the entire planet shared one language, knowledge would be infinite limited only by our own imagination?)

v3; And they said one to another, Go to, let us make a brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

v4; And they said, Go to, let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.( What do they mean when they say “let us make us a name” do they mean a reputation?)
