It conveys a sense of barrenness and desolation, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual dryness or judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, the climate was often harsh, with long periods of drought and intense heat. The imagery of parched land would have been a powerful metaphor for the Israelites, who were familiar with the challenges of sustaining life in such an environment. This term would evoke the reality of dependence on God for rain and sustenance, as well as the consequences of turning away from Him.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2787.htm">charar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a parched place<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>stony wastes (1).<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">חָרֵר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>parched place</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb035909.gif">, Bd<sup>Pal 196</sup>), only plural absolute <font class="hebrew2">חֲרֵרִים</font>;
