Deuteronomy 9:1

And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

“Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.”

“Then it will be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and good cities which you did not build,

then Yahweh will dispossess all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

‘The tree grew large and became strong, And its height reached to the sky, And it was visible to the end of the whole earth.
