Re: Babel in the east or not?

But it's *not* "to" - it says *from*, explicitly!

_vayehi benas`am MI-qedem_.

MI- = from

It's as simple as that.  I don't know from where all these translations
came up with "to".
If it was "to qedem", it would say _leqedem_, _laqedem_, or _qeidma_.
But definitely *not* _miqedem_.
