### Brown–Driver–Briggs 1906

בָּתָה: n.f. end, destruction [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1489/1326/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.f. end, destruction (for בַּתָּה, perhaps on account of difference of meaning, perhaps from analogy of כָּלָה with like sense; cf. Di)—וַאֲשִׁיתֵהוּ בָתָה Is 5:6 and I will make it (the vineyard) a destruction, a waste, or (Che) make an end of it.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (4 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (3 candidates)
