- Abstract
The article focuses on how Jubilees dealt with narratives in connection to the story the "Tower of Babel" as compared to the body of exegesis of torah texts Midrash. The explanation by Jewish philosopher and rabbi Saadiah Gaon that the sin as depicted in the story was wanting to stay in one area and not filling the earth as God commanded is discussed. The interpretation of the battle against God in a less literal way other rabbis is highlighted.
