What fault did HaShem/Elokim find with the builders of the city and tower? The Torah does not specify any sin. Moreover, their motives appear to be laudatory. They wanted to ensure that mankind would remain a united people, so even as the descendants of Noach became numerous over generations and inevitably spread over the earth, they would remain united, and having one capital, they would retain the same culture manners. This would make for peace among mankind.

HaShem smelled the pleasant odor (of the sacrifice Noach made) and HaShem/Elokim said to Himself, “I will not again curse the earth because of man, for the inclinations of man are evil from his youth, and I will not again strike all living creatures as I did.”

HaShem/Elokim first determined to destroy all living things and to reduce the vigor of the earth. That can be readily accomplished the way the previous worlds were destroyed, or, pehaps by a universal conflagration. But HaShem/Elokim was determined to preserve Noach and his family. Therefore HaShem/Elokim first told Noach to build a “Tayva” which does not mean a “ship”, but simply a “box.” It was not a means of locomotion (where was there to go?) but a box to insulate its inmates from the surrounding environment. Then HaShem/Elokim announced He would bring the mabbul, the withering and wearing action, and in order to make it possible to preserve Noach and his tennants in the tayva, it would be a mabbul of water. The order of HaShem/Elokim’s statement is perfectly logical.

Bereishit 8:22, “As long as the earth lasts, planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.” Sforno explains: “They ‘will not cease,’ but will continue in this unnatural condition which Elokim brought since the mabbul. Before the mabbul the apparent circuit of the sun was directly around the equator. The change in the attitude of the earth after the mabbul, so that the earth faces the sun at an inclination of the axis, it is the cause of the varying seasons. Before the mabbul the climate was perpetually warm due to the sun striking the earth directly at the equator. That environment was extradordinarily robust compared to the modern world’s and the earth had greater energy in all its members, mineral, vegetable, animal, and human. For this reason their lives were extraordinarily long.”

The third world, was the Dor haMabbul, the contemporaries of Noach who were destroyed by the deluge. It was in this generation that had a most uncommon environment. The sages (Sanhedrin 108A) ascribe to them the fortune depicted by Job 21:8-13, as the all too common circumstance of scoundrels: Their children grow up healthy, and their descendants stand before their eyes. Their homes are peaceful, without fear, and the rod of Elokim’s discipline is not used on them. His bull impregnates his cow, and does not reject; his cow drops the calf, and does not abort. They send their children outdoors like sheep, and their infants dance. They play music on drums and harps, and they cheer to the sound of the flute. They spend their days in good times….

Until the third day of creation the earth was level and as featureless as a plain, and water covered the whole earth. When Elokim said, “The waters shall gather,” the mountains and hills arose from the ends of earth and spread over the entire globe. The places without these features became the valleys and the lowlands. The water flowed into depressions in the earth and they became the seas.

We read in the Torah that the people at the time of the mabbul were punished by water, and the people of S’dom were punished by fire. From the use of the word “רבה” (great), in both instances, we deduced that the generation of the mabbul also suffered by fire, and the citizens of S’dom too were punished by water. For twenty-five years prior to the destruction of S’dom Elokim brought tremors onto the land and made mountains around S’dom quake to warn the people that they must repent, but they did not take the hint. Therefore, the four cities of S’dom and its suburbs were situated on one table of rock. The angel turned over the rock and with that one act the cities were overturned.
