to sweep away; destroy completely with a sweeping motion
A vivid verb used only in Isaiah 14:23 in God's oracle against Babylon. The Lord declares, 'I will sweep it with the besom of destruction'—using the image of a broom to convey total annihilation. The rare Pilpel verb form intensifies the action, suggesting thorough, repeated sweeping. This single occurrence makes Babylon's judgment visceral and complete, as if God will sweep away every trace of the city's arrogance.
