Usage: The word מְשׁוֹאָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of utter destruction or desolation. It is often associated with the aftermath of divine judgment or the consequences of sin and rebellion against God. Context: מְשׁוֹאָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to depict scenes of devastation and ruin, often as a result of God's judgment upon nations or peoples who have turned away from His commandments.
