qa.rav describes drawing near, whether people, times, places, or offerings are brought into nearness.

The verb most often marks movement or arrival into nearness: people approach another person, God, a city, or a territory, and days or years draw near. It also describes bringing persons, animals, offerings, or matters before someone, especially in instructions and accounts of presenting offerings; a smaller group of verses uses it for bringing things together or for bodily approach.

1. Draw near or come into proximity · dominant

   Qal forms describe persons or things coming close: in Deuteronomy 1:22 the people approach Moses, in Exodus 14:20 neither camp comes near the other, and in 1 Samuel 17:48 the Philistine approaches David. The same use extends to an approaching time in 1 Kings 2:1, where the APB renders that David's days "drew near" for him to die.

2. Bring forward or present · common

   Hiphil forms place a person, animal, offering, or case before another party. In Exodus 28:1 Aaron and his sons are brought near for service, while Exodus 29:10 presents the bull before the tent of meeting; Deuteronomy 1:17 uses the form for bringing a difficult case to Moses.

3. Present offerings before God · common

   A recurring presentation use concerns sacrificial material. In 1 Chronicles 16:1 the ark is placed in the tent and burnt and fellowship offerings follow before God; in Ezekiel 46:4 the leader presents a burnt offering to the LORD. Ezekiel 44:15 combines a Qal form for priests approaching God with a Hiphil infinitive for presenting fat and blood.

4. Bring together or attach · occasional

   The verb can describe bringing separate items into contact. In Ezekiel 37:7 the bones come together, "bone to its bone," and Ezekiel 37:17 commands that the two pieces be brought to one stick so that they become one in the prophet's hand.

   Ezekiel 37:7Ezekiel 37:17Isaiah 5:8
5. Approach in a bodily or intimate encounter · occasional

   In Deuteronomy 25:11 a wife draws near to rescue her husband during a fight, and in 2 Samuel 15:5 a man comes near to bow down before Absalom. Deuteronomy 22:14 and Ezekiel 18:6 place the approach in clauses concerning a woman, with the APB rendering "came near to her" and "approach a woman."

   Deuteronomy 25:112 Samuel 15:5Deuteronomy 22:14Ezekiel 18:6

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB uses wording such as "approach," "come near," "drew near," "bring," and "present." Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these expressions confirm the clauses' movement or presentation without fixing a separate English equivalent in every instance.
