In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: This is the name for a voice from heaven that was heard after prophecy ended.

In safety: never leave a baby or toddler alone in a bath, even for a moment — they can drown in a few centimetres of water; check the water is not too hot with your elbow; electricity and water don't mix. Phrases: have/take a bath, run a bath, bath time, bubble bath, bathroom, bird bath.
