The Key Word — הִרְבֵּיתֶ֥ם, hir.bei.Temgenerated
The verb רָבָה (rabah) means to multiply or increase. It is a Hiphil perfect form, indicating that the subject (you) is causing an increase in the object (the slain). This word conveys a sense of growth or abundance, particularly in a negative context here, where it refers to the increase of violence.
The use of this verb in this context emphasizes the active role of the people in perpetuating violence, suggesting a deliberate choice to increase the number of deaths in the city.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses the phrase multiplied those you killed, which aligns closely with the KJV and ASV, both of which also use multiplied.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of חָלָל. The KJV, ASV, and others use slain, while the LSV and YLT opt for wounded. The NETB uniquely translates it as corpses, indicating a more graphic depiction of the outcome of violence.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb הִרְבֵּיתֶ֥ם, you have multiplied, governs the entire sentence, with two phrases following: a noun phrase indicating what has been multiplied (the slain) and a prepositional phrase describing where this occurs (in the city). This structure highlights the cause-and-effect relationship between the actions of the people and the resulting violence.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the actions of the people, making it clear that they are responsible for the increase in death and destruction in their city.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הִרְבֵּיתֶ֥ם as ἐπληθύνατε, which means 'you have increased.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning of multiplying or increasing, maintaining the sense of escalation in violence.
The Greek translation captures the same urgency and severity of the original Hebrew, emphasizing the responsibility of the people for the bloodshed in the city.

Filled the streets; either left them murdered in the streets; or rather, by an hyperbole, the streets are full, every where some or other in every street you have condemned and killed.

I. The Canaanite City.
1. Origin:
The development of the Canaanite city has been traced by Macalister in his report on the excavation at Gezer (Palestine Exploration Fund Statement, 1904, 108 ff). It originated on the slopes of a bare rocky spur, in which the Neolithic Troglodytes quarried their habitations out of the solid rock, the stones therefrom being used to form a casing to the earthen ramparts, with which the site was afterwards surrounded and which served as a protection against the intrusion of enemies. Later Semitic intruders occupied the site, stone houses were built, and high stone defense…
City
The earliest mention of city-building is that of Enoch, which was built by Cain (Gen. 4:17). After the confusion of tongues, the descendants of Nimrod founded several cities (10:10-12). Next, we have a record of the cities of the Canaanites, Sidon, Gaza, Sodom, etc. (10:12, 19; 11:3, 9; 36:31-39). The earliest description of a city is that of Sodom (19:1-22). Damascus is said to be the oldest existing city in the world. Before the time of Abraham there were cities in Egypt (Num. 13:22). The Israelites in Egypt were employed in building the “treasure cities” of Pithom and Raamses (Ex. 1:11); but it does not seem that they had any cities of their own in Goshen (Gen.…
The towns and cities of Palestine were commonly built on heights, for better security against robbers or invaders. These heights, surrounded by walls, sometimes formed the entire city. In other cases, the citadel alone crowned the hill, around and at the base of which the town was built; and in time of danger the surrounding population all took refuge in the fortified place. Larger towns and cities were often not only defended by strong outer walls, with towers and gates, but by a citadel or castle within these limits-a last resort when the rest of the city was taken, Jud 9:46,51. The "fenced cities" of the Jews, De 3:5, were of various sizes and degrees of strength; some being surrounded by high and thick stone walls, and others by feebler ramparts, often of clay or sun-dried…
