her being made desolate
| Morphological Notes | Hophal infinitive construct of שׁמם with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; causative passive verbal noun form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hophal stem conveys a causative passive sense, indicating being caused to become desolate. The infinitive construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix requires the rendering "her being made desolate," preserving both the passive causation and the feminine singular suffix. |
