창세기 11:6의 미드라쉬

THE LORD SAID - The Holy One, Blessed is He, said:

ALL HAVING ONE LANGUAGE - Each understood what his fellow would say to him, whether 'clay' or 'brick,' and this way they would build. During the time that they had one language, they were not restrained from building. Rather, I will confuse their languages and they will put aside the construction. What did G-d do? He called the divine messengers and commanded them to descend below, and each one [of the messengers would teach] each family a different language, so that this family would not understand that family. And so they did, as it says, "Come, let us descend."

R. Jacob of Kefar Hanin says: (Job 25:2:) [DOMINION AND AWE ARE WITH HIM].³⁴Targum on Job 25:2; Numb. R. 12:8; Cant. R. 3:11:1; PRK 1:3; Tanh., Gen. 11:6; cf. Deut. R. 5:12. DOMINION: This is Michael. AND AWE: This is Gabriel. (Ibid., cont.:) HE MAKES PEACE IN HIS HIGH PLACES. Even the heavenly beings need peace. The constellations rise up. Taurus says: I am first, and does not see what is in front of him. Gemini says: I am first, and does not see what is in front of him. And so each and every one says: I am first. Ergo, it says: The heavenly beings need peace.
