| Root | נצה (n-ṣ-h) |
| Core Meanings | to go forth, to be expelled, to be laid waste, desolation, to strive or quarrel |
| Semantic Range | to be desolated, to be ruined, to be devastated; in other stems, to lay waste, to expel, to quarrel or strive |
| Conceptual Significance | The term evokes the condition of devastation that follows expulsion or divine judgment, portraying people or places as reduced to ruin—a vivid image of covenantal consequence and communal breakdown. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from נצה in the Niphal stem; participle, masculine plural, absolute. The Niphal conveys a passive or reflexive sense ("to be laid waste" or "to be in ruin"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Niphal masculine plural participle, indicating those who are in a state of having been laid waste.
