Exegesis
The result clause ha-arets shemamah {הָאָרֶץ שְׁמָמָה | hā-ʾā-rets še-mā-māh} “the land become desolate” presents potential ruin, and the vav-consecutive ve-rabbah {וְרַבָּה | wə-rāb-bāh} “and will multiply” introduces chayyat ha-sadeh {חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה | ḥay-yāt ha-sā-deh} “beast of the field,” preserving the Hebrew sequence from purpose to consequence.
