In the eleventh
chapter, verse one, of Genesis we read “And the whole earth was of one
language, and of one speech.” V4 “And
they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven.” The Lord saw what they were doing and
said, “Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may
not understand one another’s speech. … scattered them abroad … upon the face of
the earth.”
So the people being scattered where did they go? In chapter 12 of Genesis he continues
and he says to Abram, “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and from thy father’s house , unto a land that I will shew thee.”
From this we see that although the people are scattered, if they are aware of Him and are righteous and
call upon his name he knows where they went -- or where he sent them. Remember
he said he would shew Abram the land were he was to go. The Bible does give an account of Abram who
later became Abraham (Genesis 17:5) In
the Book of Mormon there is also a record of a righteous people - the Jaredites - who were scattered at the time of the tower of Babel and came to the Americans. The
Nephites or the people of Lehi found their record after arriving here.
