uts describes acting or moving quickly, and in some clauses urging others toward immediate action.

The attested use chiefly concerns acting, moving, or proceeding quickly: it can describe hurried feet, speech, a pursuit of wealth, taskmasters pressing workers, and the sun not moving on quickly. In its Hiphil forms, it occurs where messengers urge Lot and where a speaker prohibits an attempt connected with comforting him.

1. Acting, moving, or pressing with speed · dominant

   Qal forms describe haste in varied clauses: taskmasters press the workers in Exodus 5:13, the sun does not move on quickly in Joshua 10:13, and hurried feet are linked with sin in Proverbs 19:2. The same participial form is used of one rushing toward need in Proverbs 21:5, one seeking to become rich quickly in Proverbs 28:20, and a man quick in his words in Proverbs 29:20.

2. Urging or attempting prompt action · occasional

   The Hiphil sequential imperfect in Genesis 19:15 occurs as the messengers urge Lot to rise and take his family. In Isaiah 22:4, the Hiphil jussive appears in the speaker's prohibition concerning attempts to comfort him; the APB's wording does not isolate the term's specific contribution beyond that clause.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB commonly presents the term with “hastens” or “hurried,” as in Joshua 10:13 and Proverbs 19:2, while Exodus 5:13 has “pressed” and Genesis 19:15 has “urged.” Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these English expressions indicate the clauses' overall presentation rather than fixed one-for-one renderings.
