 * ||  ||   || **Rashi**:They wanted to reach the Heavens and Hashem in order to fight against him.They wanted to show that there is no Hashem in the world

The tower should be a sign to everybody so that they could always find their way back to their city,since they did not want to spread over the world as Hashem had commanded them before .That is why Hashem dispersed them all over the world ! ||  ||   ||   ||   || his brothers to live far away in Goshen and not close to him,next to his palace? || פרק מו,לא-לד ||  ||   ||   ||   ||

 * ||  ||   || **Chizkuni:** Avraham and Lot had a lot of sheep and cattle and could not find enough food, since they also shared the lands with the Canaanites.Therefore they separated. ||   ||   ||   ||   ||

 * || VAYESHEV || Why did the brothers hate Yaakov so much ? || פרק לז,ב-ה ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
