It conveys the idea of a place that has been laid waste or destroyed, often as a result of divine judgment or warfare. The term is used to depict the aftermath of destruction, emphasizing the complete and utter devastation of a location.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, cities and lands often faced destruction due to military conquests, divine judgment, or natural disasters. The concept of desolation was a powerful image in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing not only physical ruin but also spiritual and moral decay. The use of "battah" would resonate with the Israelites, who experienced periods of exile and destruction, such as the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1324.htm">bath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a precipice<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>steep (1).<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> [<font class="hebrew2">בַּתָּה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>precipice, steep</b></font> (as <em>cut off, abrupt</em>) — <font class="hebrew2">בְּנַחֲלֵי הַבַּתּוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/7-9.htm">Isaiah 7:9</a> <em>in the ravines of the precipices</em>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>desolate <p>Feminine from an unused root (meaning to break in pieces); desolation -- desolate. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הַבַּתּ֔וֹת הבתות hab·bat·tō·wṯ habbatTot habbattōwṯ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/7-19.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 7:19</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">כֻלָּם֙ בְּנַחֲלֵ֣י <b> הַבַּתּ֔וֹת </b> וּבִנְקִיקֵ֖י הַסְּלָעִ֑ים</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and settle <span class="itali">on the steep</span> ravines,<br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and shall rest <span class="itali">all of them in the desolate</span> valleys,<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/7-19.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> will all ravines <span class="itali">the steep</span> the ledges of the cliffs<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1327.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1327.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1327<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/habbattot_1327.htm">hab·bat·tō·wṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1326.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1326"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1326" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1328.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1328"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1328" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
