re.vach denotes an opening associated with relief and deliverance, while its use in a command is not isolated by the translation.

The attested uses place the noun in a declaration that relief and deliverance will arise and in a command involving Esau; the first context supports an opening expressed as relief, while the second is not individually rendered by the APB.

Senses in use

  1. Opening expressed as relief · dominant

    In Esther 4:14, the singular absolute noun occurs in the statement that relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place. The APB renders that clause "relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place," supporting an opening from a source beyond the person addressed.

  2. Use in an unisolated command context · common

    In Genesis 32:17, the singular absolute noun occurs in a command to the first servant, followed by questions Esau may ask about ownership and destination. The APB renders the surrounding command and questions but does not isolate this noun's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Esther 4:14, the APB presents the relevant clause with "relief and deliverance." In Genesis 32:17, it gives the command and Esau's anticipated questions without a clearly identifiable rendering for the noun.
