Meaning
Of, from, or relating to Babylon.
Biblical Usage
In Scripture, Babylonish identifies something associated with Babylon. The KJV uses the term in Joshua for a garment that Achan saw among the spoil of Jericho and took for himself.
The term identifies the garment by its connection with Babylon. Babylon itself appears throughout Scripture as the name of an ancient city and kingdom and, in later passages, in symbolic and prophetic contexts.
