cha.tah denotes taking up material such as fire or coals, with one context whose precise contribution remains unclear.

The clearest attested use concerns taking up fire or coals: the term occurs in clauses about taking fire, carrying fire, and heaping coals. A single occurrence appears in a clause the APB renders as growing strong in desire, but the translation does not isolate the term's contribution there.

1. Taking up fire or coals · dominant

   In Isaiah 30:14, the Qal infinitive construct occurs in the clause the APB renders “taking fire from the hearth”; the surrounding image is of a vessel broken so completely that no fragment remains for that action. In Proverbs 25:22, the Qal active participle occurs where the APB renders heaping coals on a person's head, and in Proverbs 6:27 the Qal imperfect occurs in the question about carrying fire in one's bosom.

2. Unclear use in a desire-related clause · rare

   In Psalm 52:7, the Qal imperfect occurs in a clause the APB renders “grows strong in his desire.” The verse contrasts this great man's trust in riches with his relation to desire, but the translation does not make the term's specific contribution identifiable.

   Psalm 52:7

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clearer contexts through actions involving “taking fire,” “heap coals,” and “carry fire.” In Psalm 52:7 it renders the clause “grows strong in his desire,” without word-level alignment that would identify this term's exact English equivalent.
