mish.lach denotes what is set forth by a hand—usually its undertakings, and once the sending of cattle.

The attested use most often concerns what is associated with a person's hand: contexts of rejoicing, giving, blessing, and curse speak of its outcomes or undertakings. Isaiah 7:25 shows a more concrete use in which cattle are sent to a place.

1. Hand-associated undertakings · dominant

   In Deuteronomy 12:7 and Deuteronomy 12:18, the construct singular occurs in clauses about rejoicing before the LORD; the APB renders the phrase “the sending of your hand.” Deuteronomy 15:10, Deuteronomy 28:8, and Deuteronomy 28:20 place the same form in statements about giving, blessing, and curse affecting what the hand does. In Deuteronomy 23:21 the same construct singular is present in a vow clause, though the APB does not make its individual contribution identifiable.

2. Sending cattle to a place · rare

   In Isaiah 7:25, the construct singular occurs in the description of hills becoming places for cattle; the APB renders the result as places “for cattle to be sent and for sheep to trample.”

   Isaiah 7:25

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB repeatedly renders the hand-associated construction as “the sending of your hand” or “every sending of your hand.” In Isaiah 7:25 it instead speaks of cattle “to be sent”; Deuteronomy 23:21 does not visibly reflect the term in the translation.
