H6567a H6567a
make distinct, declare distinctly, explain clearly; separate or distinguish
A verb meaning to make something clear and distinct, to declare or explain with precision. In Leviticus 24:12 it describes waiting for God to make his will distinctly known. Numbers 15:34 similarly awaits a clear declaration of judgment. Nehemiah 8:8 uses the participle to describe how the Levites read the Law 'clearly' (or 'with interpretation'), making it intelligible to the people. The rare Niphal participle in Ezekiel 34:12 is textually uncertain but may relate to scattered sheep.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Leviticus 24:12 and Numbers 15:34 both involve waiting 'to declare distinctly' what should be done in difficult legal cases, emphasizing the need for clear divine instruction. Nehemiah 8:8 describes the Levites reading the Law 'distinctly' or 'with interpretation' (מְפֹרָשׁ) so the people could understand. The notion is clarity, precision, and making something unmistakably clear. Some translations interpret this as 'interpreted' or 'explained,' reflecting the explanatory dimension. 4×
