Kabbalah zu Bereschit 11:4

וַיֹּאמְר֞וּ הָ֣בָה ׀ נִבְנֶה־לָּ֣נוּ עִ֗יר וּמִגְדָּל֙ וְרֹאשׁ֣וֹ בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְנַֽעֲשֶׂה־לָּ֖נוּ שֵׁ֑ם פֶּן־נָפ֖וּץ עַל־פְּנֵ֥י כָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Da sprachen sie: Wohlan, lasst uns eine Stadt bauen und einen Turm, dessen Spitze bis zum Himmel reicht, damit wir uns einen Namen machen und nicht über die ganze Erde hin zerstreut werden.

Zohar

Of the Giborim, (mighty ones), the third group, it is written: "The same were mighty men of old, men of renown (lit. 'men with a name')" (Beresheet 6:4). These descend from the side of those, about whom it is said: "Let us build us a city and a tower...and let us make us a name..." (Beresheet 11:4). They, this group of the mixed multitude, build synagogues and Yeshivot, putting the scroll of the Torah and a crown upon its top, not in the name of Hashem. Instead, it is done to make themselves a name, as it is written: "And let us make us a name." (The children of) the Other Side, overcame Yisrael, who are (blessed to be) like the dust of the earth. They rob them, shattering their work. Of them, it is written: "And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth" (Beresheet 7:19)
