Bajith standard

Where is Bajith in the Bible?

Bajith was a Moabite temple or high place located in the ancient kingdom of Moab, east of the Dead Sea in what is now modern-day Jordan. The only biblical reference to Bajith appears in Isaiah 15:2, where the prophet includes it in his prophecy of judgment against Moab. In this passage, Isaiah describes the people of Moab going to their high places and temples to weep and mourn, with Bajith specifically mentioned as a site of religious worship and despair during the nation's downfall. The name "Bajith" literally means "temple" or "house," indicating it was a significant religious structure in Moabite culture. This reference underscores the biblical theme of divine judgment against pagan nations and their religious centers.
