כִּנּוּי לְדוֹר שֶׁבָּנָה אֶת מִגְדַּל בָּבֶל, דּוֹר שֶׁחָטָא בְּגַאֲוָה כְּלַפֵּי הָאֵל וְשָׁבוּ עַל פִּי הַמָּסֹרֶת הִתְפַּלְּגָה הָאֱנוֹשׁוּת לְעַמִּים וְשָׂפוֹת שׁוֹנוֹת.

("דּוֹר הַפְּלַגָּה אֵין לָהֶם חֵלֶק לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (בְּרֵאשִׁית יָא) וַיָּפֶץ ה' אֹתָם מִשָּׁם עַל פְּנֵי כָל הָאָרֶץ. וַיָּפֶץ ה' אֹתָם בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וּמִשָּׁם הֱפִיצָם ה' לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא- סַנְהֶדְרִין י ג)
