Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἔρημος (erēmos), which also means desolate or deserted.

Usage: The term "sheremah" is used to describe a state of barrenness or desolation, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It conveys the idea of being stripped bare, lacking fertility or productivity, and can be applied to land, cities, or even spiritual conditions.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fertility and productivity were highly valued, as they were directly linked to survival and prosperity. Barrenness, whether of land or womb, was often seen as a sign of divine disfavor or judgment. The concept of desolation also carried significant weight, as it could indicate the aftermath of divine judgment or the result of neglect and abandonment.
