Is it correct?

Hello evrybody, I am an English teacher from Venezuela. This is the first time I Post in this forum. I have a question... I know that Bible refers to "The tower of Babel", but is it also correct to say or write "The babel tower" If not would mind explaining what is the difference? |

I wouldn �t call "The Babel Tower" actually wrong, but it just doesn �t sound right. This is a name, rather than a description, so it is a fixed expression. In the Bible, Jesus is called the Son of Man. We would never call him "Man �s Son", even though the two terms are technically the same.
