Usage: The term בַּתָּה (battah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of desolation or ruin, often in the context of divine judgment or the aftermath of destruction. Context: The Hebrew word בַּתָּה (battah) appears in the context of describing a land or place that has been laid waste or rendered uninhabitable. This term is often associated with the consequences of divine judgment, where cities or regions are left in a state of ruin as a result of the people's disobedience or sin. The imagery of desolation serves as a powerful reminder of the seriousness of turning away from divine commandments and the resultant consequences. In the prophetic literature, such as the writings of Isaiah and Jeremiah, the concept of desolation is frequently employed to convey the severity of God's impending judgment on nations and peoples who have forsaken His ways. The use of בַּתָּה underscores the stark contrast between the flourishing life that comes from obedience to God and the barrenness that results from rebellion.
