Strong's Lexicon mebusah: Trodden place, trampled Original Word: מְבוּסָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוּס (bus), meaning "to trample" or "to tread down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is καταπατέω (katapateo), Strong's Greek #2662, which means "to trample down" or "to tread underfoot." Usage: The term "mebusah" refers to a place that has been trampled or trodden down. It conveys the idea of a location that has been subjected to destruction or desecration, often as a result of military conquest or divine judgment. The imagery of trampling is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to depict the humiliation or defeat of a city or nation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of trampling upon a place or object symbolized dominance and victory. Cities that were conquered were often described as being "trodden down" to signify their subjugation and the loss of their former glory. This imagery would have resonated with the original audience, who were familiar with the realities of warfare and conquest.
