Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

חֶמְדָּה f.

(1) desire, regret. 2 Chronicles 21:20, בְּלֹא חֶמְדָּה “he departed regretted by no one.”

(2) that which is desired, delight. 1 Samuel 9:20; Daniel 11:37, חֶמְדַּת נָשִׁים “the delight of women;” this is to be understood, as the context shews it must, of some idol, especially worshipped by the Syrian women, such as Astarte, or Anaitis.

(3) pleasantness, excellence. אֶרֶץ חֶמְדָּה the pleasant land, Jeremiah 3:19; Ezekiel 26:12. כְּלֵי חֶמְדָּה precious jewels, 2 Chronicles 32:27, 36:10.
