| Semantic Range | desolations, ruined places, devastated regions, wastelands, drought-stricken areas, scenes of destruction |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in prophetic and covenantal contexts to describe the aftermath of judgment—cities laid waste, lands dried up, and the visible consequences of covenant unfaithfulness—highlighting the reversal of blessing into barrenness. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine plural construct (Ncfpc) from חׇרְבָּה with prefixed לְ preposition. Feminine plural form חָרְבוֹת in construct state, requiring a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root חרב, conveying dryness and resulting ruin or desolation. The form is feminine plural construct with the prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"), so the rendering preserves the plural "desolations" and reflects the construct relationship by "of," indicating possession or association with what follows. |
