CH-R-B-H - ‘consuming ardour’

I cannot conceive how its possible that all the translators, without exception, have missed the meaning of this word, it is so simple. Its root חר is evident; it is united to the sign of interior action ב, to expresss ravage, extermination, desolation, scourge. In giving it the sense of a desert, or a dry land and even simply of the earth, as the Latin translator, they have made Moses say a futile and ridiculous thing. It was not the inhabitants alone of the desert or the dry lands who perished, but all beings whatsoever, who were struck at the same time by this disaster, this devastating flood. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 218)

CHR The sign of elementary existence united to that of movement proper, symbol of the stright line, constitutes a root which develops, in general, the idea of a central fire whose heat radiates. It is in particular, a consuming ardour, literally as well as figuratively. That which burns and consumes, that which is burned and consumed; that which is arid, desert, barren; every kind of residue, excrement: the mouth of a furnace, the entrance of a cavern; etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 355)
