maṣdarإِخْرَابٌ خَرَابٌ

Core sense — he reduced it to ruin, he demolished itgenerated

4.1[they ruined their houses]—خَرَّبُوا بُيُوتَهُمْ

He reduced a house, a dwelling, or a country to ruin; he made it waste, uninhabited, deserted, or uncultivated..

Also خرّب, maṣdar تَخْرِيبٌ, and خَرَبَ [, as in the Qurʾān 2:108]; or خرّب has the same meaning, but in a wider or more intensive sense.

The ر is doubled because the verb has many objects; or the meaning is: they demolished their houses.

[they demolishing their houses]—يُخَرِّبُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ

In the Qurʾān 59:2. This is the reading of AA; all others read يُخْرِبُونَ بيوتهم, meaning they going forth from their houses and leaving them, or leaving them in a state of ruin.

Qur’ān 2:114 approximate — somewhere between 2:108 and 2:128 Lane cites “Kur ii. 108”

Qur’ān 2:114 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَـٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُۥ وَسَعَىٰ فِى خَرَابِهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ ۚ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

And who is more unjust than he who forbids that in places for the worship of Allah, Allah's name should be celebrated?-whose zeal is (in fact) to ruin them? It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them except in fear. For them there is nothing but disgrace in this world, and in the world to come, an exceeding torment.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

It is He Who got out the Unbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering (of the forces). Little did ye think that they would get out: And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the (Wrath of) Allah came to them from quarters from which they little expected (it), and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their dwellings by their own hands and the hands of the Believers, take warning, then, O ye with eyes (to see)!
