cha.dash describes renewing or restoring a kingship, sanctuary, ruined places, days, land, youth, or witnesses.

The attested uses describe bringing something into renewed or restored condition: a kingship and altar, the house of the LORD and ruined cities, as well as days, youth, the land, and witnesses. The same broad use extends across imperatives, imperfects, perfects, an infinitive construct, and a cohortative.

1. Restoring or making something renewed · dominant

   In 1 Samuel 11:14, the cohortative calls for the kingship to be renewed; in 2 Chronicles 15:8 and 2 Chronicles 24:12, Piel forms concern the altar and the house of the LORD. Isaiah 61:4 places the action alongside rebuilding ancient desolations and raising former ruins, while Lamentations 5:21 asks for days like former times and Psalm 104:30 speaks of the face of the land.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “renew” for the term in clauses about kingship, an altar, the house of the LORD, ruined cities, witnesses, youth, and the land. In Psalm 51:12, the APB instead renders the verse with “Restore to me the joy of your salvation,” so the lemma's specific English correspondence is not explicit in that translation.
