hukh denotes movement or travel, including going to Jerusalem and carrying items to a destination.

The attested uses describe movement toward a destination: people may go to Jerusalem, and temple vessels are carried from one place to another; one occurrence in a decree context is less specifically isolated by the translation.

1. Going or moving toward a destination · dominant

   In Ezra 6:5, the Qal imperfect occurs in the instruction concerning vessels taken to Babel and their movement back to the temple in Jerusalem; the APB renders the surrounding clause "carried to Babel" and later "brought to the temple." In Ezra 7:13, the Qal infinitive construct occurs in the authorization for volunteers to travel with Ezra; the APB renders "may go to Jerusalem with you."

2. Movement in the decree-and-letter context · occasional

   In Ezra 5:5, the Qal imperfect appears in the clause about the matter continuing until a decree reached Darius and a letter then returning concerning it. The APB presents the verse's sequence as "until the decree reached Darius; then they returned the letter," but the translation does not isolate this form's precise contribution.

   Ezra 5:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with movement language such as "carried," "brought," "go," "reached," and "returned." Because it is a whole-verse translation, the exact English contribution of the lemma is clearest in Ezra 6:5 and Ezra 7:13.
