Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

חָרַב whence imp. חֲרֹב, and חָרֵב future יֶחֱרִב

(1) to be dried up, spoken of water, rivers, earth. Genesis 8:13; Job 14:11 Isai. 19:6 Psalms 106:9. It differs [“as merely denoting the absence of water”] from יָבֵשׁ to be dry, to become dried, see Genesis 8:13, compare 14 also Isaiah 19:5, where there is a gradation, וְנָהָר יֶחֱרַב וְיָבֵשׁ. Compare Reimarus, De Differentia Vocc. Hebr. p. 64. (From the same stock is Gr. κάρφω to become dry, κράμβος dry.)

(2) to be desolate, to be laid waste, spoken of countries or cities, (dry places being desert, devoid of water, Isai. 42:15 48:21 ); Isai. 34:10 Jeremiah 26:9 of sanctuaries, Amos 7:9 also to be destroyed, wasted, spoken of a people, Isaiah 60:12 and trans. to lay waste, to destroy, Jeremiah 50:21. (Imp. חֲרֹב.)

(3) to be amazed, astonished, Jeremiah 2:12 compare the synonymous words שָׁמַם and שָׁעַר.

(Arab. خَرِبَ to be laid waste, Conj. II. to lay waste, to destroy; cognate to which is حَرَبَ I. II. IV. to wage war.)

Niphal

(1) pass. of Kal No. 2, to be laid waste, desolated, Ezekiel 26:19, 30:7.

(2) recipr. to destroy one another, hence to fight, 2 Kings 3:23.

Pual pass. of No. 1, to be dried, Judges 16:7, Judges 16:8.

Hiphil

(1) to dry up [“as water”], Isaiah 50:2.

(2) to lay waste, towns, countries, Ezekiel 19:7; Judges 16:24 to destroy a people, 2 Kings 19:17.

Hophal pass. of Hiphil No. 2, Ezekiel 26:2, 29:12.
