SIBI-P1 H2719-05
with the desolating sword
| Root | חרב (ḥ-r-b) |
| Core Meanings | dryness, desolation, devastation, laying waste |
| Semantic Range | sword, dagger, knife, cutting implement, weapon of war; figuratively violence, slaughter, or the destructive force that lays waste. |
| Conceptual Significance | חֶרֶב frequently symbolizes warfare, judgment, and covenant curse in the Hebrew Bible. As an instrument of חרב (desolation), it represents not merely combat but the undoing and wasting of a people or land under divine or human judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("with/by") + noun חֶרֶב, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa). No pronominal suffix; singular form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֶרֶב (feminine singular) derives from the root חרב, conveying dryness and desolation, and by extension the act of laying waste. Rendering it "desolating sword" preserves the connection between the physical blade and its root sense of causing ruin. The prefixed בְּ is reflected by "with," and the singular feminine noun is maintained in English as a singular instrument. |
