gi.ach describes breaking or coming out, whether of waters, an ambush, or emergence in birth imagery.

The attested use most often depicts an outward breaking forth: the sea from the womb, a river at its bank, Pharaoh in his rivers, and Israel's ambush from its position. In two womb and labor contexts, it is associated with bringing forth or being brought out.

1. Breaking forth from a place or boundary · dominant

   In Job 38:8, the Qal infinitive construct occurs in the clause about the sea and doors, which the APB renders "when it burst forth from the womb." In Judges 20:33, a Hiphil active participle describes Israel's ambush leaving its place, while Ezekiel 32:2 addresses Pharaoh's movement in his rivers; Job 40:23 places the Qal imperfect in a clause about the Jordan at his lip.

2. Coming forth in womb and labor imagery · common

   In Micah 4:10, the Qal feminine singular imperative stands in an address to the daughter of Zion using a woman-in-labor comparison; the APB renders the command "Writhe and bring forth." In Psalm 22:10, the Qal active participle construct occurs in the surrounding womb and mother-belly language, though the translation does not isolate its contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "burst forth" for the sea and Pharaoh, "burst out" for the Jordan and the ambush, and "bring forth" in the labor image of Micah 4:10. In Psalm 22:10, the womb imagery remains, but the translation does not clearly mark a separate English rendering for the participle.
