yach.dav marks people, animals, or things acting, dwelling, standing, or undergoing an event in company or as a group.

Senses in use

  1. In shared company or collective action · dominant

    The adverb places multiple participants within the same action, setting, or outcome. In Genesis 22:6 the APB renders the clause that Abraham and Isaac “walked together”; in Exodus 19:8 the people answer as one body, and in Isaiah 52:8 the watchmen lift their voice and sing in concert. It also marks collective outcomes: Saul's household dies in 1 Chronicles 10:6, while the helper and the helped come to an end in Isaiah 31:3.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly presents the shared relation with “together,” including walking, dwelling, eating, speaking, and collective outcomes; 1 Samuel 30:24 uses “alike” for equal shares. These renderings confirm the clauses' collective setting rather than fixing an English equivalent in every instance.
