SIBI-P1 H2719-11
by the desolating sword
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("by/with") prefixed to a common feminine singular noun in absolute or construct state (Ncfsa/Ncfsc). The form is singular and feminine throughout its occurrences here. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֶרֶב (feminine singular) derives from the root חרב, conveying desolation and devastation. Rendering it as "the desolating sword" preserves the connection to the root idea of destructive ruin, while the prefixed בְּ is reflected by "by," indicating instrumentality in the feminine singular form. |
