a.zal describes supplies, strength, or waters being depleted, and also a person going away or about.

The attested uses most often describe something being exhausted or disappearing: supplies, strength, and waters are presented as no longer remaining. It also occurs of personal movement, both going about and departing.

1. Being exhausted or disappearing · dominant

   The Qal perfect forms describe a lack or loss in concrete clauses: in 1 Samuel 9:7 the APB renders the supplies as "gone," and in Deuteronomy 32:36 it renders strength as "gone" with no one remaining. In Job 14:11, the plural perfect occurs in the comparison of waters disappearing and a river wasting and drying up.

2. Going about or departing · occasional

   In Jeremiah 2:36, the Qal imperfect addresses a woman who goes about changing her way. In Proverbs 20:14, the masculine singular active participle occurs in the buyer's action after speaking, where the APB renders the clause "then he departs and boasts."

   Jeremiah 2:36Proverbs 20:14

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the depletion uses with "gone" and "disappear," while the movement clauses are rendered "go about" and "departs." These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than assigning a fixed English equivalent to each form.
