Farrago
A farrago is a confused mixture; hodgepodge; medley,
During the building of the Tower of Babel, God decided to make human languages a farrago. This decision effectively stopped construction of the edifice.
"Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech." (Genesis 11:7, NASB)
The name "Babel" is the Hebrew equivalent of Akkadian Babilu which denotes confusion.
Note: This woodcut of the Tower of Babel was created in 1928 by the famed Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher (1998-1972).
