da.lah denotes drawing water and, figuratively, drawing out counsel from a person's heart.

The attested use most often concerns drawing water for people or livestock; Proverbs 20:5 applies the action figuratively to bringing counsel out from a person's heart. Psalm 30:2 has a Piel perfect within a cry to God and healing, but the translation does not isolate the term's contribution.

1. Drawing water for use · dominant

   In Exodus 2:16, the Qal sequential imperfect occurs as the priest's daughters come, draw water, and fill troughs for their father's flock. Exodus 2:19 uses two Qal infinitive absolutes in the report that an Egyptian drew water for them and watered the flock; the APB renders these clauses with “drew water.”

2. Drawing out what is deep or hidden · occasional

   In Proverbs 20:5, the Qal imperfect describes a person of understanding drawing out counsel, compared in the verse to deep water; the APB renders the clause “draws it out.” In Psalm 30:2, the Piel perfect stands in a prayer addressed to God after the speaker cried out and was healed, though the APB does not make this term's specific contribution clear.

   Proverbs 20:5Psalm 30:2

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents the Exodus clauses as drawing water and Proverbs 20:5 as drawing counsel “out.” In Psalm 30:2, its translation gives the cry and healing without an identifiable English rendering for the Piel form.
