1. Draw out in rescue or removal · dominant

   In Exodus 2:10, the Qal perfect first-person form occurs in the explanation that the child was taken from the water; the APB renders the clause “For I drew him out of the water.” In 2 Samuel 22:17, the Hiphil imperfect form is set alongside being taken hold of from on high, and the APB renders “he drew me out of deep waters.” Psalm 18:17 has the same supplied Hiphil imperfect morphology in a rescue setting, though the APB renders the verse as deliverance from strong enemies rather than isolating the term's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “drew him out” in Exodus 2:10 and “drew me out” in 2 Samuel 22:17. In Psalm 18:17 it presents the broader rescue as “He rescued me,” so the translation does not separately identify the term there.
