Devoted-to-Destruction
| Root | חרם (ḥ-r-m) |
| Core Meanings | ban, devote, dedicate, set apart for destruction, consecrate, prohibit |
| Semantic Range | A place devoted to destruction; a site associated with the ban; a location marked by consecration through destruction; by extension, total destruction under divine decree. |
| Conceptual Significance | Hormah recalls Israel’s practice of ḥerem—placing cities or peoples under the ban as an act of covenantal judgment and consecration to YHWH. The name memorializes both divine judgment and Israel’s obedience (or failure) in carrying out the ban, embedding theological memory into geography. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun (place name) formed from the noun חׇרְמָה, derived from the root חרם. Appears in absolute state without suffixes. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root חרם, referring to something devoted or placed under the ban—often for destruction. As a feminine singular proper noun (HNp), it designates a specific place characterized by such devotion; the rendering preserves the core idea of being placed under the ban while functioning as a singular place-name. |
