to grow dark, be shadowed; evening darkness falling or something casting shade
This verb describes the onset of darkness, whether literally at evening or metaphorically through shade. Nehemiah uses it when the gates of Jerusalem 'grew dark'—that is, evening shadows fell, triggering the Sabbath closure. Ezekiel's description of a great tree mentions its 'shadowing' branches. The root connects to words for shade and shadow, evoking both the daily transition from light to darkness and the cooling relief of shade from the sun.

1. sense 1 — Nehemiah 13:19 describes the evening when Jerusalem's gates 'grew dark' (began to be shadowed), while Ezekiel 31:3 speaks of forest branches 'giving shade.' Spanish uses 'oscurecieron' (grew dark) and 'sombra' (shade), showing the verb's range from temporal darkening to spatial shading. The Nehemiah passage marks the precise moment when Sabbath restrictions began—when darkness started to fall at the city gates. Ezekiel's usage evokes the thick forest canopy blocking sunlight. Both share the core sense of darkness or shadow, whether from the sun's setting or from something blocking its light. 2×
