In the Hebrew, בָּבֶל, '''''bāḇel''''' which occurs in {{bible ref|Genesis|11|1-9}} is translated as "'''Babel'''", but in every other successive Old Testament account it is translated as "'''Babylon'''".  If the place came to take a reduplicate form of the word for 'confusion' (בָּלַל, '''''bālal''''', “'''to confuse''',” "'''mix'''", "'''mingle''',”) or if 'confusion' took on a reduplicated derivative of 'Babylon' now remains questionable. But Genesis 11:9<ref>Genesis 11:9, https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gen/11/1/t_conc_11009</ref> indicates that the place was named after the existing vocabulary for 'mixing', בָּלַל,''bālal'' as a play on the existing place name.  

In the Hebrew, בָּבֶל, '''''bāḇel''''' which occurs in {{bible ref|Genesis|11|1-9}} is ''transliterated'' directly as "'''Babel'''", but while the word occurs many times thereafter in the [[Old Testament]], it is always ''translated'' in every other successive account as "'''Babylon'''".  The question that now remains is if the place name came to take a reduplicate form of the word for 'confusion' (בָּלַל, '''''bālal''''', “'''to confuse''',” "'''mix'''", "'''mingle''',”) or if 'confusion' took on a reduplicated derivative of 'Babylon'? In answer to this question, Genesis 11:9<ref>Genesis 11:9, https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gen/11/1/t_conc_11009</ref> does indicate that the place was named after the existing vocabulary for 'mixing', בָּלַל, ''bālal'' as a play on the existing place name.
