Hiphil, הֶחֱרִים

(1) to consecrate, to devote (Eth. አሕረመ፡ to lay under a curse) to God, so that it could not be redeemed, Leviticus 27:28, 29 Leviticus 27:29; Micah 4:13. In the wars of extermination against the Canaanites, cities were thus devoted, so that when they were taken, both man and beast were one and all destroyed, and the city itself razed. Hence

(2) to extirpate, to destroy utterly, cities (Luth. verbannen), Deuteronomy 2:34, 3:6 7:2 20:17 Joshua 8:26, 10:28, 37 Joshua 10:37, 11:21 1 Samuel 15:3, seq.; Isaiah 34:2, 37:11. There is sometimes added לְפִי חֶרֶב Joshua 11:12; 1 Samuel 15:8. The phrase הֶחֱרִים אַחֲרֵי פ׳ Jeremiah 50:21, seems to denote an enemy pursuing after those who are to be destroyed (comp. בָּעַר אַחֲרֵי 1 Kings 14:10, 21:21 ). Poetically, God himself is said to devote any thing; i.e. utterly to destroy it as something so devoted. Isaiah 11:15, וְהֶחֱרִים יְהֹוָה אֵת לְשׁוֹן יַם מִצְרַיִם “and Jehovah will devote (i.e. will dry up) the bay of the Egyptian sea.”

Hophal הָֽחֳרַם to be devoted, to be consecrated, Ezra 10:8 when used of men, i.q. to be slain, Exodus 22:19; Leviticus 27:29.
