ra.vav denotes multiplication on a very large scale, though its specific contribution is not isolated by the supplied translation.

The supplied evidence supports a single broad use concerning extensive multiplication or increase; Genesis 49:23 places the plural perfect form within a hostile action sequence, while Psalm 18:15 uses a singular perfect form in a scene of the sea's channels and the world's foundations being exposed, but the translation does not isolate the term's contribution.

   In Genesis 49:23, the Qal perfect plural form occurs in the clause sequence concerning archers; the APB renders the verse, "The archers bitterly attacked him, shot at him, and harassed him." In Psalm 18:15, the Qal perfect masculine singular form occurs in the scene where the APB renders, "Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were laid bare," though the translation does not identify a separate English rendering for the form.

   Genesis 49:23Psalm 18:15

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents Genesis 49:23 as an attack by archers and Psalm 18:15 as the exposure of sea channels and foundations. Because it is a whole-verse translation, the English does not consistently isolate this lemma.
