Senses in use

  1. A named place in a mourning scene · dominant

    In Isaiah 15:2, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause of ascent “to Bajith and to Dibon”; the APB renders the verse as a scene in which Moab wails and people go to high places to weep.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 15:2, the APB presents the term as “Bajith” in the phrase “He has ascended to Bajith and to Dibon.” This identifies its presentation within the verse rather than establishing a fuller lexical rendering.
