Usage: The word "shemamah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe lands, cities, or regions that have been laid waste or left in ruins. It often conveys the aftermath of divine judgment or the result of warfare and destruction. The term can also express the emotional response of astonishment or horror at such desolation. Context: • "Shemamah" appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often in prophetic literature where it describes the consequences of Israel's disobedience or the judgment upon other nations. For example, in Isaiah 5:9, the prophet declares, "Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left without occupants." Here, "shemamah" underscores the totality of the devastation.
