to a desolation

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a common feminine singular absolute noun (Ncfsa). No pronominal suffix. Feminine singular form חָרְבָּה from the root חרב.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חָרְבָּה derives from the root חרב, conveying dryness that results in ruin or devastation. The prefixed לְ preposition is preserved as "to," and the feminine singular noun is rendered as the singular "a desolation," maintaining its number and sense as a concrete state or condition.
