The Bible does not specify a single leader who guided the people to the Tower of Babel; rather, it describes a collective effort among the people to build the tower. According to Genesis 11:1-9, they sought to make a name for themselves and prevent being scattered across the earth. The narrative emphasizes their unity in language and purpose, which ultimately led to God's intervention, causing them to speak different languages and scattering them.
The Bible does not specify an exact height (or number of stories) for the Tower of Babel.
