Language

he.lekh denotes a flowing movement in one context and a person arriving as a visitor in another.

The two occurrences show two contextual uses in equal attestation: a construct-form noun in the clause about a flow of honey, and an absolute-form noun for a person who comes to a man.

Senses in use

  1. A flowing stream · common

    In 1 Samuel 14:26, the construct-form noun occurs in the clause that the APB renders “a flow of honey,” describing the honey as a flow.

  2. An arriving visitor · common

    In 2 Samuel 12:4, the absolute-form noun occurs as someone comes to the rich man; the APB renders the verse, “And a traveller came to the rich man.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the construct occurrence in 1 Samuel 14:26 as “a flow of honey” and the absolute occurrence in 2 Samuel 12:4 as “a traveller.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
