	Confusion of tongues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The confusion of tongues (confusio linguarum) is the initial fragmentation of human languages described in the Bible after the collapse of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9).
		During the Renaissance, Hebrew had lost its status as the original language of Paradise, and was considered just one of the seventy languages derived from the confusion of tongues.
		Priority was now claimed for the alleged Japhetite languages, which were never corrupted because their speakers had not participated in the construction of the Tower of Babel.

	Tongues Today? by O. Palmer Robertson

		While tongues served as a sign, the fuller role of inscripturated prophecy now must be allowed its permanent place of continuing priority as the church progresses from age to age, proclaiming the message of the prophetic Scriptures in the power of the Holy Spirit to men of all nations.
