ma.hir describes someone marked by prompt, capable activity, including skilled work and the hastening of righteousness.

The attested uses chiefly describe capable promptness in a person’s work: Ezra is presented as a skilled scribe, and a man is described in relation to his work. A further use occurs in the clause about hastening righteousness.

1. Prompt capability in work · dominant

   The masculine singular absolute forms describe Ezra as a scribe whom the APB renders “skilled in the law of Moses” in Ezra 7:6 and a man whom it calls “quick in his work” in Proverbs 22:29. Both clauses place the description on a person in relation to his work.

2. Hastening righteousness · occasional

   In Isaiah 16:5, the masculine singular construct form occurs in the clause that the APB renders “judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness,” presenting the term within an action directed toward righteousness.

   Isaiah 16:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “skilled” in Ezra 7:6, “quick” in Proverbs 22:29, and “hastening” in Isaiah 16:5. In Psalm 45:2, its specific contribution is not clear from the supplied APB wording.
