da.veh describes a sick or weakened condition, including illness associated with impurity and a figurative comparison to uncleanness.

The term most often marks a person’s sick, weakened, or impurity-associated condition: it describes a woman during impurity, a faint devastated sufferer, and a sick heart. In Isaiah 30:22, it occurs in the comparison by which defiled images are cast away as unclean things.

2. Comparison with what is unclean and discarded · rare

   In Isaiah 30:22, the feminine singular form appears as silver-covered idols and gold-plated images are defiled and scattered; the APB renders the comparison as casting them away “as unclean things.” The precise English contribution of the adjective is not separately marked by the translation.
