Descripción
Sumario:	The essay examines the grammar and interpretation of the Biblical Hebrew syntagma of bat in cases where a geographic name (GN) follows in the genitive case. The author argues that such constructions indicate a divine epithet in light of comparative evidence from Mesopotamian, and specifically Akkadian, lamentation texts. Topics include book of Lamentations, the role of the city as mother and possessor, and divine epithets.
