na.shaph describes blowing in the two attested clauses: with spirit over the sea and upon planted growth so that it withers.

The attested clauses describe blowing: in Exodus 15:10 it is addressed to “you” in connection with spirit and the sea, while Isaiah 40:24 depicts him blowing upon them, followed by withering and their being carried away.

1. Blowing in forceful action · dominant

   The two clauses show the same basic action in differing scenes. In Exodus 15:10, the Qal perfect second masculine singular form addresses “you” in the clause that the APB renders “You blew with your spirit,” followed by the sea covering them; in Isaiah 40:24, the Qal perfect third masculine singular form occurs in the clause the APB renders “when he blows on them and they wither.”

   Exodus 15:10Isaiah 40:24

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both clauses with forms of “blew/blows,” linking the action in Exodus 15:10 to the sea and in Isaiah 40:24 to withering. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
