was laid waste, destroyed (Aramaic Hophal form describing Jerusalem's past ruin)
This Aramaic verb form appears in Ezra 4:15, where Persian officials report that Jerusalem 'was destroyed' in previous generations, citing this as justification for halting reconstruction. The Hophal stem indicates passive voice—the city received the action of being laid waste, likely by Babylonian forces in 586 BCE. The multilingual glosses reflect difficulty rendering this rare Aramaic conjugation, with Spanish capturing the passive sense clearly: 'fue destruida' ('it was destroyed'). The word connects to the common Hebrew root for devastation and ruin.
