cha.tsats denotes cutting off in Job and, less clearly, arranging into ranks in Proverbs.

The attested uses show a dividing action expressed as months being cut off in Job 21:21 and, less certainly, as the locusts’ movement in ranks in Proverbs 30:27.

1. Cutting off a counted span · dominant

   In Job 21:21, the Pual perfect plural form occurs in the clause about the number of a person's months; the APB renders the clause, "once the number of his months is cut off?"

   Job 21:21
2. Movement or arrangement in ranks · occasional

   In Proverbs 30:27, the Qal active participle masculine singular occurs in the statement about locusts without a king; the APB renders the verse, "yet they march out in ranks." The verse is read as a whole, so the term's precise contribution within that clause remains uncertain.

   Proverbs 30:27

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Job clause with "cut off" and the Proverbs statement with locusts that "march out in ranks." The specific English correspondence in Proverbs 30:27 is uncertain.
