Diblath

Diblath (in UPDV: Diblatha) appears once, as a geographic limit on the desolation Yahweh announces against the high places of Israel. It is named only as a wilderness boundary; the place itself is otherwise unidentified in scripture.

A Wilderness Limit of the Desolation

The single mention sits inside Ezekiel's oracle against the mountains of Israel: "And I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness of Diblatha, in all their habitations: and they will know that I am Yahweh" (Ezek 6:14). The verse uses "the wilderness of Diblatha" as one extreme of the territory the oracle covers — the desolation runs from there throughout the inhabited places — and ends with the recognition formula, "they will know that I am Yahweh." Beyond this single notice the place receives no further description.
