send, dispatch; stretch out (hand); send away, dismiss, release; be sent; set fire to; expel, drive out
The verb שָׁלַח is the Hebrew Bible's primary word for sending — messengers, letters, plagues, and even the hand of God. Its 847 occurrences span nearly every narrative arc from Genesis to Malachi. In the Qal, it means to send or dispatch (Gen 8:7–12, the dove from the ark), but also to stretch out the hand in power or violence (Gen 22:10; Exod 3:20). The Piel intensifies into purposeful commissioning ('send away, dismiss, release'), governing the Exodus drama of Pharaoh's refusal to 'let go' (שַׁלַּח) Israel. A rare destructive sense — setting fire to a place — and forceful expulsion (Gen 3:23, the expulsion from Eden) complete this verb's wide semantic arc.
1. to send, dispatch (Qal) — The basic Qal meaning 'to send, dispatch' (701x) — sending persons, messengers, gifts, or objects to a destination. Arabic أَرْسَلَ, Korean 보내다, Swahili kutuma, Hindi भेजा converge on directed purposeful movement. Genesis 8:7–12 (Noah sending the raven and dove) and Genesis 20:2 (Abraham sending Sarah) are paradigmatic early instances. This sense dominates the entire Hebrew narrative. 701×

2. to send, dispatch (Piel) — The Piel intensive 'send, dispatch' (63x) — purposeful commissioning of messengers, delegations, or communications with deliberate intent. Arabic أَرْسَلَ and Korean 보내다 maintain the same lexical field as sense 1.

3. to stretch out, extend (Qal) — Qal with יָד as object: 'to stretch out, extend the hand' (40x). Arabic مَدَّ, Korean 내밀다, Swahili kunyoosha mark a clear semantic departure from 'send.' Genesis 3:22 ('lest he stretch out his hand'), Genesis 22:10 (Abraham stretching out his hand for the knife), and Exodus 3:20 ('I will stretch out my hand') show this gesture of power, violence, or intent. The hand becomes the semantic signal distinguishing this sense. 40×

4. to send away, dismiss, release (Piel) — Piel meaning 'send away, dismiss, let go, release' (34x) — often of divorcing a wife, freeing slaves, or releasing captives. Arabic أَطْلَقَ/صَرَفَ, Korean 보내다 with directional 'away,' and French 'envoie-moi' capture the separative force. Genesis 18:16 (Abraham sending off the angels), Genesis 31:27 (Laban's complaint about Jacob's departure), and the Exodus refrain of Pharaoh refusing to 'let the people go' are central. 34×

6. sense 6 — A destructive use meaning 'to set (fire to), send fire into' (2x). English 'set/they-have-set,' Spanish quemaron 'they burned,' and French placer suggest placing fire. Judges 20:48 (Israelites setting fire to Benjaminite cities) and Psalm 74:7 ('they have set your sanctuary on fire') employ שָׁלַח with אֵשׁ 'fire' as object, yielding a violent conflagrative sense within the GEOGRAPHY/SPACE domain. 2×

7. to send out, expel, drive out (Piel) — Piel meaning 'to expel, drive out, cast out' with forceful connotation (2x).

Genesis 3:23 — God expelling Adam from the Garden of Eden — is the archetype: not a polite sending but an irreversible banishment. 2 Kings 8:12 extends this to violent military expulsion. 2×
