mish.lo.ach denotes sending out, seen in shared portions in Esther and in a hand-stretching clause in Isaiah.

The clearest attested use is the sending of portions to others in Esther; Isaiah 11:14 places the noun in a clause where Edom and Moab stretch out their hands, so its precise contribution there is less isolated by the translation.

Senses in use

  1. Sending portions to others · dominant

    In Esther 9:19, the construct noun occurs in the observance described as a day of joy and feasting; the APB renders the relevant action as “sending portions each to his neighbor.” Esther 9:22 likewise places it among feasting, joy, and gifts to the needy, with the APB rendering “sending portions each to his neighbor.”

  2. Action expressed through outstretched hands · rare

    In Isaiah 11:14, the construct noun occurs in the clause concerning Edom and Moab. The APB presents the clause as “Edom and Moab shall stretch out their hands,” but its loose, whole-verse wording does not isolate the noun's precise English contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents the Esther clauses as “sending portions each to his neighbor.” In Isaiah 11:14 it instead presents an outstretched-hands action; That wording cannot by itself specify the noun's exact rendering.
