me.nu.sah denotes flight or fleeing, whether in fearful retreat or in an unhurried departure.

The two verses show flight or fleeing in contrasting settings: fearful retreat before a pursuing threat in Leviticus 26:36, and a departure explicitly not made in haste or flight in Isaiah 52:12.

1. Fearful flight before a threat · dominant

   In Leviticus 26:36, the construct singular form occurs in the clause about people fleeing as though before a sword and falling even when no one pursues; the APB renders the surrounding action as "they will flee the flight of the sword."

   Leviticus 26:36
2. Departure not made in flight · occasional

   In Isaiah 52:12, the absolute singular form stands in the prohibition against going out in haste or going in flight; the APB renders the clause "nor shall you go in flight."

   Isaiah 52:12

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term within "the flight of the sword" in Leviticus 26:36 and "go in flight" in Isaiah 52:12. These phrases confirm the verses' flight imagery without fixing a separate English equivalent in every clause.
