drive out, dispossess (nations); take off, remove (sandals); slip off, drop off, fall away
Senses
1. drive out, dispossess (nations) — Qal and Piel transitive sense: to drive out or dispossess peoples from their territory, used exclusively in the context of YHWH's expulsion of Canaanite nations before Israel. Deut 7:1 and 7:22 use the Qal consecutive perfect (God 'will drive out' nations); 2 Kgs 16:6 uses the Piel (he 'drove out' the Judahites from Elath). Arabic يطرد (yatrud 'expels') and طرد (tarada 'expelled'), Korean 쫓다 (jjotda 'to chase out'), Spanish expulse/expulsara/expulso. The consistent Arabic tarada ('expel') and Korean jjotda ('chase away') across all military-dispossession contexts confirm a distinct sense from the physical 'slip off' meaning. 3×

2. take off, remove (sandals) — Qal imperative sense: to draw off or remove footwear, specifically sandals from one's feet in the presence of holy ground. In Exod 3:5 God commands Moses 'take off your sandals' at the burning bush; Josh 5:15 echoes this command to Joshua at Jericho. Arabic اخلع (ikhla' 'remove/take off'), Korean 벗으라/벗기라 (beoseura/beotgira 'take off'), Spanish quita ('remove'). The Arabic ikhla' is specific to removing garments/shoes, distinguishing this from the general 'slip off' sense. Both passages share the identical sacred-ground theological context. 2×

3. slip off, drop off, fall away — Intransitive Qal sense: to slip off, drop off, or fall away from something. In Deut 19:5 an axe-head 'slips off' the handle (Arabic ينزلق yanzaliq 'slips,' Korean 미끄러졌다 mikkureojyeotda 'slipped,' Spanish se suelte 'comes loose'). In Deut 28:40 olives 'drop' (fall prematurely) from the tree (Arabic يتساقط yatasaqat 'falls/drops,' Korean 떨어지리라 tteoreojirira 'will fall,' Spanish se caera 'will fall'). Both represent the base intransitive meaning of detachment or separation from a fixed position. 2×
