SIBI-P1 `H8045-35`

and he caused them to be laid waste

Root	שמד (sh-m-d)
Core Meanings	desolation, annihilation, extermination, bringing to ruin
Semantic Range	to annihilate, exterminate, destroy utterly, bring to ruin, lay waste, cause to perish
Conceptual Significance	This root often conveys covenantal judgment, especially total destruction as a consequence of disobedience or divine wrath. It carries the force of decisive removal or eradication, underscoring themes of justice, judgment, and the seriousness of covenant unfaithfulness in the biblical narrative.
Morphological Notes	Hiphil waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd masculine singular (וַיַּשְׁמִיד) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-ם), indicating a completed past action in narrative sequence: "and he caused to destroy them."
Rendering Rationale	The Hiphil stem expresses causation, so the action is not merely that they perished, but that he caused their ruin. The 3rd person masculine singular verb with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix is reflected in "he" as subject and "them" as object, preserving both person and number.
