and it shall not be lived in for all generations.
No people shall put up their tents there
and no shepherd shall be grazing there,β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: βNo one will ever be able to take shelter there again.
No nomads will set up Tents there.
No shepherd will bring cattle there to graze.β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βIt will- never -be-inhabited forever/[lit. until whenever]. No Arab will-build his tent there. And no one-who-watch-over-the-sheep will-graze his sheep there.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

It will be deserted forever.
Nomads/People who travel from place to place to live will refuse to set up their tents there;
