Broom, besom; the sweeping implement God will use to clear Babylon of inhabitants
This domestic implement appears in Isaiah 14:23, in God's oracle against Babylon: 'I will sweep it with the broom of destruction.' The broom represents thorough cleaning, removing all debris. Isaiah transforms this household tool into an instrument of divine judgment—God will sweep Babylon clean of inhabitants and glory. The image suggests comprehensive removal, leaving nothing behind but emptiness. What the broom accomplishes in a house—total clearing of unwanted material—God will accomplish in Babylon. The mundane tool becomes apocalyptic metaphor.

1. sense 1 — A sweeping tool used metaphorically in Isaiah's judgment oracle against Babylon. God promises to sweep the city with a broom of destruction, removing all inhabitants and glory. The domestic implement becomes an image of comprehensive divine judgment—just as a broom thoroughly clears a floor, God will clear Babylon. The household metaphor makes cosmic judgment tangible and total, suggesting nothing will remain after God's sweeping. 1×
