SIBI-P1 H2721-04
to desolation
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (absolute) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”). From the root חרב, expressing dryness or devastation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹרֶב is a masculine singular absolute form derived from the root חרב, conveying dryness and ruin. The prefixed לְ indicates direction or result, so "to desolation" preserves both the singular abstract noun and the sense of movement toward or resulting in a state of ruin. |
