To assemble, gather together — in Hifil causing others to convene; in Nifal, gathering as a body.
A denominative verb from qahal ('assembly, congregation'), this word expresses the act of forming a gathered community — whether summoned by a leader or self-assembling. The Hifil stem (causative) depicts Moses assembling Israel at Sinai (Exod 35:1), Aaron convening the congregation (Num 8:9), and kings mustering troops. The Nifal (reflexive-passive) shows the people gathering of their own accord, sometimes for worship (Josh 18:1), sometimes in rebellion (Num 16:3; 20:2). Spanish 'congregar/congregaron' and French 'assembler' both capture the communal, purposeful nature of this gathering — it is not casual movement but the formation of a qahal, a covenantal assembly.
Senses
1. assemble transitively, convene (Hifil) — Hifil (causative): to summon or convene an assembly — a leader actively gathers the people. Moses assembles all Israel (Exod 35:1; Num 1:18), Aaron convenes the congregation before the tabernacle (Lev 8:3; Num 8:9), and Solomon gathers elders for the temple dedication. Spanish 'Y-reunió' and French 'assembler' consistently mark the transitive agent. The trumpet signals in Num 10:7 distinguish between alarm blasts and assembly calls, showing this is a technical term for authorized convocation. 20×

2. assemble intransitively (Nifal) — Nifal (reflexive/passive): to gather together, assemble as a body — the people come together without explicit summoning or in response to a crisis. In Exod 32:1 the people gather against Aaron demanding gods, and in Num 16:3 Korah's company assembles against Moses. But the same form appears positively at Josh 18:1 where all Israel assembles at Shiloh. Spanish 'se-congregaron' (reflexive) and French bracketed forms capture the spontaneous or self-directed quality that distinguishes this from the Hifil's commanded assembly. 20×
