SIBI-P1 H2719-02
by the desolating blade
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב with assimilated definite article + noun common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa). The article is indicated by the pataḥ under ב and dagesh in ח. Instrumental use of ב is common with weapons. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֶרֶב is a feminine singular noun meaning a cutting instrument, especially a sword, derived from the root חרב conveying desolation and destruction. The form בַּחֶרֶב combines the preposition ב ("by/with") with the definite article and a feminine singular absolute noun, hence "by the desolating blade," preserving both its instrumental force and its destructive root sense. |
