mush describes feeling by touch, whether to identify a person, locate a support, or mark the lack of sensation.

Across the three verses, mush denotes feeling by touch: Isaac seeks to test Jacob's identity, Samson asks to locate the pillars, and the psalm denies such sensation to the depicted figures.

1. Feeling by touch in direct action · dominant

   In Genesis 27:21, the Qal cohortative occurs in Isaac's request to come near so that he may test whether the person is Esau; the APB renders the clause "that I may feel you." In Judges 16:26, the Hiphil imperative is Samson's instruction concerning the pillars on which the house rests; the APB renders "let me feel the pillars."

   Genesis 27:21Judges 16:26
2. Lacking the capacity to feel · occasional

   In Psalm 115:7, the Hiphil imperfect appears in the statement that the figures have hands but do not experience sensation; the APB renders "they do not feel."

   Psalm 115:7

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "feel" in all three clauses: Isaac asks to feel Jacob, Samson asks to feel the pillars, and the psalm says that hands do not feel. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate every nuance of the Hebrew form.
