cha.qah denotes making visible figures on a surface, and in one verse marking the soles of a person's feet.

The attested uses chiefly describe figures or patterns made on a surface: cherubim, palms, flowers, wall images, and surrounding patterns. A separate use concerns setting a mark on the soles of Job's feet.

   In Job 13:27 the Hithpael imperfect occurs in Job's complaint about his feet being confined and watched; the APB renders the clause, "you set a mark upon the soles of my feet."

   Job 13:27

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "engraved" for the surface figures in 1 Kings 6:35, Ezekiel 23:14, and Ezekiel 8:10, and "set a mark" in Job 13:27. These renderings confirm the clauses rather than establish a precise English equivalent.
