Genesis 8:13
And he is becoming in one and six hundred of a duplication, in the First-one,321 in one to the New-one, the Dual-Waters have been laid-desolate322 from upon the Earth; and Rest is causing to turn aside the covering of the Chest,323 and he is seeing, and behold, the faces of the Red-one have been laid-desolate.
| 322 | Strong’s #2717, חָרַב charab, to desolate, be laid waste. This is a much more serious word than to be dry. See yabesh (#3001) to be dry used in v.7 and 14. Translators interpret it as to dry because it is often found used in the context of the “water”. In other places the plain meaning is clear, “Jerusalem… she is laid-desolate [charab]” (Eze. 26:2), “the kings of Assyria have laid-desolate [charab] these nations and their lands” (2 Kin. 19:17), “desolate [charab] and utterly destroy after them, saith Yahweh” (Jer. 50:21), “the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid-desolate” (Amos 7:9), “From revolution to revolution she shall lie desolate, none shall pass through her forever and ever.” (Isa. 34:10), “Be appalled, O dual-heavens, at this-one; be shocked, be utterly desolate [charab], declares Yahweh” (Jer. 2:12). |
