mich.yah denotes continued life or restoration, including bodily vitality, material provision, and renewed strength.

The attested uses most often concern preservation or renewal of life: God sends Joseph ahead for recovery and grants reviving to enslaved people. The term also occurs for material maintenance or what remains in the land, and for living flesh or the condition of burned flesh in skin examinations.

1. Preservation and renewed vitality · dominant

   In Genesis 45:5, the absolute singular occurs in Joseph's explanation that God sent him ahead; the APB renders the purpose "for recovery." In Ezra 9:8 and Ezra 9:9, the same form stands in requests or statements of renewed condition amid slavery, rendered "a little reviving" and "reviving"; Ezra 9:9 links this with rebuilding God's house and restoring its ruins.

   In Judges 17:10, the construct singular occurs in Micah's promised support for the Levite, where the APB includes "your maintenance" alongside silver and clothing. In Judges 6:4, the absolute singular appears in the report that invaders left no recovery in Israel after ruining the land's produce, with sheep, cattle, and donkey named in the clause.

3. Living flesh and recovery in skin conditions · common

   In Leviticus 13:10, the construct singular occurs in the priest's examination of a white elevation with "living flesh" in it. In Leviticus 13:24, another construct singular occurs in the description of flesh after a fire burn; the APB renders the relevant phrase "the recovery of the burn."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies between "recovery," "maintenance," "living flesh," and "reviving" in clauses where the term's contribution can be identified. In 2 Chronicles 14:12, the translation reports the Ethiopians' defeat and flight, but does not clearly isolate the noun's contribution.
