Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect yesadah {יְסָדָהּ | yə-sā-dāh} ‘he founded it’ governs the infinitive lə-ṣî-yîm {לְצִיִּים | lə-ṣî-yîm} in a purposive relationship ‘for desert creatures.’
In context — Isaiah 23:13
Behold, the land of the Chaldeans —this people did not exist; Assyria founded it for desert creatures, they set up its watchtowers, they stripped her palaces , and made it a ruin.
