tse.mach denotes plant growth or a branch, and in several prophetic clauses it names a figure raised up for David.

The word most often occurs in scenes of vegetation, growth, produce, or withering plant life; it also appears as a designated “Branch” in clauses concerning the LORD, David, a servant, and a man who will build the temple.

1. Plant growth, vegetation, or produce · dominant

   In Genesis 19:25, the construct noun occurs in the clause about the land after the cities are overturned; the APB renders the verse with “the vegetation of the land.” In Ezekiel 17:9 and Ezekiel 17:10, construct forms occur amid roots, fruit, foliage, withering, and transplanting; Isaiah 61:11 likewise places a construct form in the earth-and-garden comparison, which the APB renders with growth springing up.

2. A designated Branch in prophetic announcement · common

   In Jeremiah 23:5, the absolute noun occurs in the announcement that one will be raised up for David and will reign as king; the APB renders the clause “a righteous branch.” Jeremiah 33:15 again connects the construct form with David and justice and righteousness, while Zechariah 3:8 and Zechariah 6:12 use absolute forms in announcements concerning a servant and a man who will build the temple.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the botanical contexts with terms such as “vegetation,” “foliage,” and “branch,” while the prophetic announcements use “Branch” or “branch.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than fixed English equivalents for each occurrence.
