ga.lah describes sending people away into exile, making matters known, or laying persons and things bare.

The term most often concerns removal into exile, whether people are carried away or go captive. It also marks the disclosure of a matter or word, the appearing of God, and the exposure of nakedness, foundations, or other things previously concealed; in two statements, glory is said to have departed.

1. Send away or go into exile · dominant

   Hiphil forms identify an agent carrying people away: in 2 Kings 24:14 the APB renders the action as deporting Jerusalem's people, and in 2 Kings 17:26 it addresses those whom the king of Assyria had exiled. Qal and passive forms describe the resulting removal, as Amos 6:7 says that people will go into exile and Esther 2:6 speaks of persons carried into exile from Jerusalem.

2. Disclose a matter or message · common

   In 1 Samuel 20:2, the imperfect concerns a father uncovering a matter to Jonathan's ear; 1 Samuel 22:17 similarly concerns priests who did not disclose David's flight to the king. Niphal forms can present what becomes known: 1 Samuel 3:7 says that the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to Samuel, while Daniel 10:1 says that a word was revealed to Daniel.

3. Lay bare a body or a concealed thing · common

   The clauses concern visible exposure: Exodus 20:26 warns that nakedness not be uncovered at the altar, and Genesis 9:21 describes a man uncovering himself in his tent. Ezekiel 13:14 says that a wall's foundation will be uncovered, while Ezekiel 16:37 and Ezekiel 23:10 describe nakedness being uncovered before others.

4. Appear or make oneself visible · occasional

   Niphal forms describe God as appearing: Genesis 35:7 says that God had appeared when Jacob fled, and 1 Samuel 3:21 says that the LORD revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh. In 1 Samuel 14:8, the sequential perfect describes Jonathan and his companion showing themselves to the men ahead.

5. Depart or be removed · rare

   In 1 Samuel 4:21 and 1 Samuel 4:22, the Qal perfect is used in the declaration that glory has departed from Israel after the ark was taken. The APB renders the clause in both verses with “has departed.”

   1 Samuel 4:211 Samuel 4:22

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB variously uses “exiled,” “carried into exile,” “revealed,” “disclosed,” “uncovered,” “appeared,” and “departed.” Because its English is a whole-verse translation, those renderings indicate the clauses' presentation rather than fixed equivalents for each form.
