Exegesis
The noun asiriya {עֲשִׂרִיָּ֔ה | ʿă-sî-rî-yāh} ‘a tenth’ introduces the remnant motif, followed by the vav consecutive perfects ve-shavah {וְשָׁ֖בָה | wə-šā-wāh} ‘and it will return’ and ve-hayetah {וְהָיְתָ֣ה | wə-hā-yĕ-tāh} ‘and it will be’ plus the infinitive construct leva`er {לְבָעֵ֑ר | lə-ḇā-ʾēr} ‘for burning’ to express recurring destruction.
Root and etymology
“ten, a tenth”
In context — Isaiah 6:13
Even if a tenth remains in it, it will again return and be consumed; like the terebinth and the oak, whose stumps remain after they are felled, so the holy seed will be its stump.
