na.dach describes driving people or things away, including displacement from a place and turning someone aside.

The dominant use describes people being driven from a land, community, or place and later gathered or returned; it also describes leading people away into false worship or aside from a proper course. A smaller group of passages applies the movement to straying animals, a slipping axe-head, trees cut down, or things forced away.

1. Driving people away from their place · dominant

   The Hiphil forms describe an agent causing people to be removed or dispersed: in Jeremiah 23:3 the APB renders gathering the flock from lands where they had been driven away, and in Jeremiah 32:37 it joins their removal in anger with a promised return. Niphal forms mark those already in that condition, as in Deuteronomy 30:4, where the dispersed person is gathered from the end of heaven.

2. Turning people aside into disloyal conduct · common

   In clauses about worship and conduct, the Hiphil forms mark causing someone to turn away. In 2 Kings 17:21 the APB renders Jeroboam as driving Israel away from following the LORD and causing great sin; Deuteronomy 13:6 places the infinitive in an invitation to serve other gods. Proverbs 7:21 uses an imperfect form in the woman's persuasive turning aside of a man.

3. Dislodging or sending something away · occasional

   The term can concern movement apart from communal displacement. In Deuteronomy 19:5 the APB renders the iron of an axe as slipping from the tree, while Deuteronomy 22:1 describes an ox or sheep straying; Deuteronomy 20:19 uses an infinitive in the prohibition against cutting down trees. Isaiah 13:14 compares the scene to a gazelle driven away.

   Deuteronomy 19:5Deuteronomy 22:1Deuteronomy 20:19Isaiah 13:14Job 6:13Joel 2:20

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB uses expressions such as “banished,” “driven,” “scattered,” “outcast,” “straying,” and “turns him aside.” Because it is a translation of whole verses, these expressions confirm the clauses' movement and removal without fixing a separate English equivalent in every occurrence.
