Parallel

Genesis 11:9

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.
That is why it is called Babel (note: Or Babylon; the Hebrew word for Babel sounds like the Hebrew for confused.), for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
