This term is used to convey the sound of a loud, wailing cry, often in response to grief or calamity. The act of bawling or wailing is a common cultural expression of sorrow in ancient Near Eastern societies, and the use of יָבַב in the Hebrew Bible reflects this practice.

The act of wailing serves both as a personal release of emotion and a communal expression of shared grief.
