shil.lu.ach denotes a transfer given as a gift and, in one construct use, a sending away.

The attested plural forms most often occur for something given in transfer: Gezer is given to Solomon's wife in 1 Kings 9:16, and Micah 1:14 speaks of giving something concerning Moresheth-gath. A construct plural in Exodus 18:2 occurs in the clause about Zipporah after she had been sent away.

1. Items given in transfer · dominant

   In 1 Kings 9:16, the masculine plural absolute form occurs where Pharaoh gives captured Gezer to his daughter, and the APB renders the clause "gave it as a parting gift to his daughter." In Micah 1:14, the same plural absolute form stands in the instruction to give something concerning Moresheth-gath; the APB renders "you will give parting gifts concerning Moresheth-gath."

2. Sending away · occasional

   In Exodus 18:2, the masculine plural construct form occurs in the statement about Zipporah after she had been sent away; the APB renders the clause "after she had been sent away."

   Exodus 18:2

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the absolute-form occurrences with "parting gift" or "parting gifts," while Exodus 18:2 is rendered through the clause "had been sent away." The precise contribution of the construct form remains less certain.
