na.tar denotes releasing or loosening restraints, including freeing people and letting a hand loose.

The attested use chiefly concerns loosening what restrains: bonds and a yoke, prisoners, and a hand. A separate occurrence stands in a clause where God makes a way secure, though the translation does not isolate the term's contribution there.

1. Releasing people or loosening restraints · dominant

   The Hiphil forms occur where restraints are removed or a person is released: in Isaiah 58:6 the APB renders the clause "to loose the bonds of wickedness, to untie the straps of the yoke, to set the oppressed free," and in Psalm 105:20 it renders "released him." In Psalm 146:7 the active participle occurs in the clause rendered "The LORD sets the prisoners free," while Job 6:9 has a jussive in the request that God "let loose his hand."

2. Making a way secure · rare

   In 2 Samuel 22:33, a Hiphil sequential imperfect occurs in the statement about God; the APB renders the surrounding clause, "he made my way secure." The translation does not identify the term's precise contribution beyond that clause.

   2 Samuel 22:33

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the releasing contexts, the APB uses "loose," "untie," "set... free," "let loose," and "released." In 2 Samuel 22:33 it instead presents the clause as making a way "secure"; These are verse-level renderings rather than fixed equivalents.
