It became significant in the biblical narrative during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings and their subsequent conquest of Canaan. The city was initially called Zephath, but after its destruction by the Israelites, it was renamed Chormah. This renaming symbolized the complete destruction and dedication of the city to God, as per the divine command to eliminate the Canaanite presence in the land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2763.htm">charam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"asylum," a place in Simeon<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hormah (9).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חָרְמָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (<em>asylum</em>, compare Arabic <em>id.</em>, Wetzst<sup>ZKW</sup> see 1884, 115) — a royal city of Canaanites, in the South, in tribe of Simeon <a href="/interlinear/numbers/14-45.htm">Numbers 14:45</a> (J E;
