It is often associated with judgment and destruction in prophetic literature. The name itself suggests a place of gathering or fortification, which aligns with its historical role as a stronghold.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Bozrah was a major city in the ancient kingdom of Edom, located southeast of the Dead Sea. Edom, descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, often had a tumultuous relationship with Israel. Bozrah's strategic location made it a vital center for trade and military defense. The city is frequently mentioned in the context of divine judgment against Edom, symbolizing God's retribution against nations opposing Israel.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">בָּצְרָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location 1.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>city of Edom</b></font> (<em>fortress</em>; (see Palmyrene proper name, of a location <font class="hebrew2">בצרא</font> Vog<sup>No. 22</sup> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">βος</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ς</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ορρα</font>; compare <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">βοσορ</font>; Lag<sup>Onom.
