Gn 11:1
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.and the whole earth was one lip* and one sound/ voice by all
———
a χειλοσ: Abraham's offspring would be as numerous as the sand of the xeilos.. translated shore because, properly, the lip of the sea is a shore. Although language is addressed later, it is specified as γλοσσα therein, and exactly one sentance before this appearance of χειλοσ, God had divided the nations by tribes and γλοσσα and called them "islands"... The value of the implication that the lip had become one, points more directly to the divisions of territories as referred to by God as islands, a subtlety lost by mistranslating lip as if it means language, which it does not....For the reader,to have just become aware that God divided the nations into islands, and then to turn the page and see the people were of one shore/lip is more directly exposing the offense of these nations that is actually being laid out in this passage: the people had unraveled God's order.. the borders of these nations or islands were their separate shorelines, now they were all of ONE shore. If men were of one lip, they had erased their border distinctions of being separate islands. It is also clear that their sound/ voice were no longer different, may or may not be the same as having one language but the word phone is used here not the word γλοσσα. Certainly we do well to understand what is written:the people were of one shore, they were no longer divided as the islands God had established, according to His will and design, just one sentance prior.
