SIBI-P1 H2719-28
to the desolating sword
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun חֶרֶב, common feminine singular absolute. The definite article marks specificity (“the sword”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לַחֶרֶב consists of the preposition לְ (“to”) with the definite article assimilated (“to the”) plus the feminine singular noun חֶרֶב (“sword”). Rendering it as “to the desolating sword” preserves the definite, singular form and reflects the root חרב, which conveys desolation and devastation—the sword being the instrument that brings such ruin. |
