It often conveys a sense of wildness and desolation, emphasizing the barrenness and inhospitable nature of such places. The word is sometimes used metaphorically to describe the desolation that comes upon a land as a result of divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, deserts were often seen as places of danger and desolation, inhabited by wild animals and spirits. The Hebrew Bible reflects this view, using terms like "tsiyyi" to evoke the harshness and isolation of the wilderness. These areas were typically uninhabited by humans and were associated with chaos and disorder, contrasting with the ordered and cultivated land of settled areas.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/6716b.htm">tsi</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II.
