Torah / Bible "Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion"."

 

"Us and Them" (Pink Floyd song cover) performed by Lucia Lilikoi, lyrics: Up and down... and in the end It's only round and round, and round. "Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?" The poster bearer cried
