tsa.lal describes a cedar casting shade and, in another clause, darkness coming on at Jerusalem's gates.

The attested uses show shading cast by a cedar in Ezekiel 31:3 and darkness coming on near Jerusalem's gates in Nehemiah 13:19.

1. Casting shade · common

   In Ezekiel 31:3, the masculine singular active participle describes Assyria as a cedar; the APB renders the tree as “shading with Horesh.”

   Ezekiel 31:3
2. Darkness coming on · common

   In Nehemiah 13:19, the plural perfect occurs in the setting before the Sabbath, when the APB says that Jerusalem's gates “began to grow dark” before the doors were shut.

   Nehemiah 13:19

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the Ezekiel clause with “shading” and the Nehemiah setting with gates that “began to grow dark.” These renderings confirm the clauses' settings rather than isolate an exact English equivalent in every detail.
