Genesis 11 starts with the people of the world who decided to build a city in Babylonia with a tower that reached up to the heavens.
These people only spoke one language, and when the Lord God saw that they were beginning to worship this tower instead of Him, he scattered them throughout the world and mixed up their language so they wouldn't be able to understand each other.
The people babbled on . . .
Hence we get the word "babble."
The city was then called Babylon.
