ne.phaq describes movement outward or emergence, and in Hiphil clauses the bringing of vessels out from a place.

The Qal forms chiefly describe something or someone moving outward, emerging, or proceeding from a location; Hiphil perfect forms describe vessels being brought out from temples.

Senses in use

  1. Going forth, emerging, or proceeding · dominant

    Qal forms occur where a decree goes outward, a guard has gone out, people are summoned and then come out of the fire, fingers come forth, and a river is issuing. In Daniel 2:13 the APB renders the decree as having “went out”; in Daniel 3:26 it renders both the summons and response as “come out”; and in Daniel 7:10 it describes the river as “issuing and proceeding.”

  2. Bringing vessels out from a temple · common

    Hiphil perfect forms occur in narratives about gold and silver vessels removed from temple locations. In Daniel 5:2 and Daniel 5:3 the APB renders the vessels as “brought out,” while Ezra 5:14 and Ezra 6:5 place that movement between the temples in Jerusalem and Babylon.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the movement with “went out,” “had gone out,” “come out,” “came forth,” “issuing and proceeding,” and “brought out.” These expressions confirm the clauses' overall movement rather than supplying separate definitions.
