Exegesis
The infinitive construct lechabel {לְחַבֵּל | lə-ḥabbêl} ‘to destroy’ expresses intended result, and kol-ha-aretz {כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ | kol-hā-ʾāreṣ} ‘all the land’ completes the purpose, with the definite article specifying totality. This structure foregrounds agency, origin, and purpose while preserving the ascending intensity of coming destruction.
Root and etymology
ʾ-r-ṣaleph–resh–ṣade
“earth, land”
In context — Isaiah 13:5
They come from a distant land, from the ends of the heavens—the LORD and the instruments of His indignation, to destroy all the land.
