   The Qal forms address reducing a stated amount or provision: in Exodus 5:8 and Exodus 5:19 the APB renders the brick tally as not to be diminished or reduced, while Exodus 21:10 concerns not diminishing a wife's provision. The same removal or reduction is applied to words in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Jeremiah 26:2, and to an inheritance or allotted portion in Numbers 36:3 and Numbers 36:4.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the action as "take away," "diminish," "reduce," "omit," "withdraw," and "excluded." These renderings confirm the clauses' overall removal or reduction contexts rather than supplying separate definitions.
