da.chah describes forceful displacement—driving, pushing, or casting people away or down, including those scattered from Israel.

The attested uses chiefly describe forceful movement away or downward: an adversary drives or presses someone, and the wicked is brought down. In Niphal participles, the term identifies Israelites who have been displaced and whom God gathers.

1. Forcing away or down · dominant

   The Qal forms occur in scenes of pressure, expulsion, or intended downfall. In Psalm 118:13 the APB renders the clause, “I was pushed hard so that I was falling,” while Psalm 35:5 has the messenger drive opponents away; Psalm 62:4 describes a plot to “thrust him down.” Proverbs 14:32 presents the wicked as overthrown through calamity, and Psalm 140:5 places the infinitive with snares set beside the path.

2. People displaced and gathered · common

   The Niphal masculine plural construct participles identify Israelites described as outcasts or dispersed who are gathered. In Isaiah 11:12 the APB renders “the outcasts of Israel” and “the dispersed of Judah”; Isaiah 56:8 and Psalm 147:2 likewise place these people within the Lord’s gathering of Israel.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term’s contexts with “outcasts,” “dispersed,” “overthrown,” “pushed hard,” “drive them away,” and “thrust him down.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions; Psalm 140:5 does not isolate an English rendering for the infinitive.
