sha.rash describes taking root or becoming established, and in other clauses being removed from what has grown.

The dominant attested use concerns taking root or becoming established: Jacob is caused to take root, planted people take root and bear fruit, and growth is pictured in plant-like terms. A smaller group uses the term for removal, where offspring or produce are uprooted.

1. Taking root and becoming established · dominant

   In Isaiah 27:6, the Hiphil imperfect occurs in the clause where Jacob is caused to take root before Israel blossoms and fills the world with fruit. Isaiah 40:24 and Jeremiah 12:2 place the perfect forms in planting imagery: stock has taken root in the earth, and planted people have taken root and produce fruit. Psalm 52:7 and Psalm 80:10 present growth imagery in their surrounding clauses, while Job 5:3 uses an active participle in the report about a fool before the speaker curses his pasture.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “take root” or “taken root” in Isaiah 27:6, Isaiah 40:24, and Jeremiah 12:2, and “uprooted” in Job 31:8 and Job 31:12. In the remaining verses, its translation presents the surrounding growth or pasture imagery without clearly isolating this term's contribution.
