to go
a.zal describes movement toward a person or place, including going in haste or by command.
The occurrences consistently describe movement toward a destination or person: Daniel goes to his house and to Arioch, the king goes to the lions’ den, officials go to Jerusalem, and speakers report going to Judah or command going to Jerusalem. The surrounding clauses add urgency, purpose, or destination, rather than establishing separate lexical senses.

Across the supplied forms, the verb marks directed movement: in Daniel 2:17 the APB renders Daniel going to his house, and in Daniel 2:24 it renders him going in to Arioch. It also occurs for the king’s movement to the lions’ den in Daniel 6:19 and Daniel 6:20, officials going to Jerusalem in Ezra 4:23, a command to go and deposit vessels in Ezra 5:15, and a report of going to Judah in Ezra 5:8.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the movement with “went” or “go,” and adds contextual wording such as “in haste” in Daniel 6:19 and Ezra 4:23. Those additions describe the verse’s action rather than necessarily supplying separate renderings of the term.
