SH-L-CH has 10 meanings


BACKGROUND
----------
It is well known that Hebrew consists of 3 letter roots. Each
3 letter root is assigned a meaning. These roots can then be
CONJUGATED to indicate such things as PERSON, PLURALITY, GENDER
etc. There are many books which contain rules of conjugation.

THE TEXT
--------
The Hebrew root Shin-Lamed-Chet has 10 meanings. It is natural
to try to group similar meanings together.

THE BASIC RULE
--------------
-- in the ACTIVE MODE, Shlach, means TO SEND
-- in the INTENSIVE MODE, Shlach, means TO LET GO
-- in the CAUSATIVE MODE, Shlach, means to INCITE

THE LIST
--------
The list below exhibits basic meanings of SHLACH in all modes.
The footnotes document further nuances of SHLACH brought by
Radack but not by Rashi*1. The footnotes also show how Rashi
brought certain nuances that Radack didnt notice.*4
MODE MEANING CONNECTION VERSE TEXT OF VERSE
INTENSIVE LET OUT LET OUT Gn43-14c LET OUT of prison
INTENSIVE LET OUT LET OUT Gn08-08b LET dove OUT of ark
INTENSIVE ESCORT Help OUT Gn12-20b They ESCORTED Abram
INTENSIVE ESCORT Help OUT Gn18-16b Abraham ESCORTED them
ACTIVE GIFTS Thing sent Ex18-02 After her PRESENTS*2
ACTIVE TO SEND TO SEND*1 Gn49-21a Gazelle MESSENGER *3
CAUSATIVE INCITE INCITE Lv26-22a INCITE animals on them
CAUSATIVE INCITE INCITE Ex08-17a INCITE against them*4
COMMENTS
*1 The Radack also lists the following meanings of Sh-L-Ch
   in the intensive(These meanings do not occur in Rashi).
   The intensive form of Shin-Lamed-Chet can also mean
   ------------------------------------------------------
   MEANING     CONNECTION  VERSE    SAMPLE TEXT
   ----------- ----------- -------- ---------------------
   Divorce     Let out     Dt24-01  & he divorces her
   Table       Place OUT   Ez41-22  ..the tables
   EXTEND Hand Let it OUT  Ex02-09  LET her hand OUT
   Branch out  Branch OUT  Ps80-12  ..branches BRANCH OUT
   Sword       Like branch 2C23-10  each had his sword
   Canal       Branchs OUT Isa08-06 the CANAL waters
   ------------------------------------------------------

   With regard to the last meaning -- CANAL -- it occurs
   only once in Tenach. Radack suggests that its
   etymology is due to the fact that CANALS BRANCH OUT.
   I would add that these irrigation canals irrigate
   LONG BRANCHES and SHOOTS that hang out in gardens.

*2 This translation---PRESENTS, GIFTS----------is in both
   Rashi and Radack.

*3  Rashi translates the verse as follows:
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Naftali who had a fertile inheritance in Israel was like
    a Gazelle Messenger (A species of Gazelles specifically
    known for its speed and usage in delivering messages).
    Naftalis fields blossom & run with flowers/fruits the
    way Gazelles romp and roam (A rather pretty picture of
    a field waiving in the wind
    ---------------------------------------------------------

*4  This translation of SHLACH--to INCITE--
    occurs in Rashi but not in Radack.
    Radack simply interprets this verse as I WILL SEND ANIMALS
    AGAINST THEM. Rashi however adds a nuance by interpreting
    I WILL INCITE ANIMALS AGAINST THEM. We prefer Rashi over
    Radack since Rashis added nuance is connected with the
    causative mode.
