According to the Jewish sages, there were several motivations. One was to serve as a reminder that all people after the flood were descended from Noah. This would serve as a motivation for brotherhood (avoiding war). Another reason was to serve as an impressive, imposing focal point of Nimrod's idolatrous cult. The third reason was to intimidate the people into accepting Nimrod as their dictator.

How do you connect Tower of Babel and the Day of Pentecost?
Reputedly, all humanity spoke one language until they tried to build the Tower of Babel. When God destroyed the Tower he also 'gave' different languages so that humanity might never try to unite in this manner again. On Pentecost, the disciples spoke to a large multitude of people - "out of every nation under heaven" - and each one "heard them speak in his own language". ==== It's a good story, but not true. The rise of languages happened long before any possible date for the Tower of Babel.

Why language is the source of misunderstanding?
Language is the source of misunderstanding because of the confusion that takes place when two persons of different nationalities who only speak their own language try to talk with each other. The Bible speaks of the story of the construction of the Tower of Babel. God gave these people who spoke only one language at that time different languages to speak so that they won't understand each other. The people stopped building the tower as a result and dispersed to the ends of the earth to find their own territory.
