going forth
mo.tsa.ah denotes an outward going or emergence, though its precise contribution is not isolated by the supplied translation.
The attested evidence supports a single broad use concerning an outward going or emergence: in 2 Kings 10:27 it occurs in the account of the Baal house being turned into a refuse sewer, while in Micah 5:1 its construct form occurs in a scene of siege and the striking of Israel's judge; the translation does not isolate the term in either verse.

The plural absolute form occurs in 2 Kings 10:27, where the APB renders the surrounding action: “They tore down the pillar of the Baal, tore down the house of the Baal, and made it into a sewer for refuse until this day.” The plural construct form occurs in Micah 5:1 amid a siege and the striking of “the judge of Israel upon the cheek”; the APB does not identify a separate English equivalent for the term.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding events rather than clearly marking a separate rendering of the term: a Baal house becomes “a sewer for refuse” in 2 Kings 10:27, and Micah 5:1 describes siege and assault. Its precise rendering of the lemma cannot be determined.
