We talked about the first part of Ether a couple of Sundays ago and the teacher suggested that the confounding of the language of the people was something that took place over a period of time (otherwise Jared and his brother would not have had time to pray repeatedly about not having their language confounded). It struck me that there must also have been prophets coming among the people of Babel warning them of the need to repent. It is probably from among such prophecies that Jared considered the possibility that the Lord could bring them to a choice land.
